Canadian dollar sticks to narrow range as oil climbs for fifth day


The Canadian dollar CADUSD edged lower against its U.S. counterpart on Wednesday but the move was limited as oil extended recent gains and investors awaited a key U.S. inflation report this week.

The price of oil, one of Canada’s major exports, rose for a fifth consecutive day as investors weighed an unexpected build in U.S. crude inventories, global economic uncertainty and China reopening its economy.

U.S. crude prices were up 1.8 per cent at $76.46 a barrel, while stock markets globally climbed on hopes that inflation was being tamed enough to ease the pace of interest rate hikes and reduce the chances of a deep recession.

U.S. consumer price index data for December is due on Thursday.

The Canadian dollar was trading 0.1 per cent lower at 1.3430 to its U.S. counterpart, or 74.46 U.S. cents, after moving in a range of 1.3405 to 1.3445.

On Monday, it touched a six-week high at 1.3355, helped by recent improvement in risk appetite and domestic jobs data that has raised expectations for further tightening by the Bank of Canada.

The United States, Mexico and Canada vowed to tighten economic ties, producing more goods regionally and boosting semiconductor output, even as integration is hampered by an ongoing dispute over Mexico’s nationalist energy policies.

Canadian government bond yields were lower across the curve. The 10-year touched its lowest since Dec. 22 at 3.057 per cent before recovering slightly to 3.070 per cent, down 5 basis points on the day.

Canada is due to auction C$4-billion ($2.98-billion) of 5-year bonds, with the bidding deadline set for 12 p.m. ET (1600 GMT).

An Existentialist Guide to Feeling Nothing

Image
I recently watched “ the greatest film of all time ,” and the most boring one. In retrospect, the title alone should have been a sufficient warning: Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles . Alas, I’m old enough to be a bit nostalgic about massive telephone address books. And massive it is. Clocking over 200 minutes, Chantal Akerman's 1975 dreary drama follows three days in the monotonous routine of Jeanne, a widow, a mother, and a prostitute. I watched Jeanne’s autopilot existence, until, staring at her back as she washes dishes, I decided to fast-forward a couple of minutes, only to discover she was still at it. And Jeanne is equally thorough when she’s busy baking, cleaning, folding laundry, or shining her son’s shoes. She speaks so scarcely and mechanically, that it’s impossible to detect any emotion or volition beyond her carefully controlled chores . Watching Jeanne Dielman is what the word “painstaking” was invented for. Chantal...

What Are SQL Stored Procedures and How Do You Create Them?

Image
Stored procedures: like functions for your SQL. A stored procedure is a batch of SQL statements created and stored on a database. You can reuse a stored procedure over and over again. A stored procedure can accept parameters, run a query, and return results. Many users can call a stored procedure and different applications can call it with different parameter values. What Are the Benefits of Using Stored Procedures? Apart from allowing multiple users and applications to reuse it, a stored procedure has other benefits. It is easy to modify. You can change a stored procedure when necessary and these updates will be reflected for all users. Furthermore, you don’t need to redeploy your application when you modify the stored procedure. It reduces network traffic because the server only passes the procedure’s name over the network and not the entire query. It improves database security since users don’t have direct access to tables. To make...
