Loonie loses gains after Bank of Japan’s surprise move to lower interest rate
– canadianbusiness.com
TORONTO – Canada’s dollar has reacted negatively to a surprise announcement by Japan’s central bank, which is moving to offset dangerously low inflation by dropping a key lending rate to negative 0.1 per cent.
The loonie’s value fell sharply just after 5 a.m. ET. It had traded as high as 71.58 cents US before the Bank of Japan’s announcment but was lower, at 71.06 cents US, about two hours before North American stock markets open at 9:30 a.m.
Canada’s dollar finished Thursday at 71.18 cents US, it’s highest close since Jan. 5.
Both the loonie’s low value and Japan’s low inflation rate are symptoms of the decline in global oil prices, caused by an oversupply, low economic growth and the relatively strong value of the U.S. dollar against other currencies.
The price of a benchmark barrel of crude oil briefly jumped above US$34 a barrel after the Bank of Japan’s announcement but was up only marginally from Thursday’s close later in the morning…

CALGARY — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley will be in Calgary today to reveal the province’s new oil and gas royalty framework.
The announcement comes as oil hovers around US$30 a barrel and industry players have warned the government against doing anything to worsen the pain.
The new system will be based on recommendations from an expert panel led by Dave Mowat, head of Crown-owned bank ATB Financial.
In 2007 — when oil was climbing toward US$90 a barrel — royalty changes introduced by the Progressive Conservative government caused big outcry among industry players.
Industry groups say they’ve been happy with how the panel’s consultations worked this time around and feel they’ve had a fair hearing.
But Mark Salkeld, with the Petroleum Services Association of Canada, says the industry is nonetheless on pins and needles as it awaits the announcement.
“It’s pretty tough out there. Our members are hurting,” he said.
The industry badly needs investment, so getting the formula right is crucial, he added…
