CAD review

Western Union quotes as follows:

Canada's buck held below C$1.25 against the greenback though also below Thursday's three-week high. Oil surrendered some of its robust gains on the week that have come from renewed instability in the Middle East that poses a threat to global oil supplies. 

Meanwhile, tempered expectations for a Canada rate cut when the Bank of Canada next meets on April 15 also helped the loonie keep toward the stronger end of its range. 

On Canada's economic calendar next week will be monthly growth on Tuesday followed by the trade balance on Thursday.
