Domestic bond prices rallied, playing catch-up with the larger U.S. market. The Canadian dollar closed at C$1.0056 to the U.S. dollar, or 99.44 U.S. cents, up from C$1.0171 to the U.S. dollar, or 98.32 U.S. cents, at Thursday's close. It was a choppy week for the currency, bouncing from C$1.02 to the U.S. dollar to parity over two days, and then back to C$1.0170 in two days, but ultimately it ended 1.4 percent higher.

Johnson NEW YORK, May 9 (Reuters) - The dollar fell on Friday as another round of credit market losses prompted investors to reduce exposure to risky assets and heightened concern about the health of the U.S. economy. The U.S. currency fell sharply against the yen after American International Group (AIG.N: Quote, Profile, Research), the world's biggest insurer, posted its largest ever quarterly loss and said it planned to raise $12.5 billion in fresh capital. That rekindled concern about the U.S. economy, particularly with crude oil CLc1 again rising to a record high, and sent the dollar 0.8 percent lower to 102.94 yen <JPY=>.

American International Group reported another large loss and took roughly $15B in new writedowns; while coincidently overseas the DAX was under some pressure after Allianz reported results below expectations and indicated further writedowns could not be ruled out. AIG also said they would be raising another $12.5B in an equity offering. The WSJ noted that well the credit crunch may be easing on Wall Street; it appears to be tightening elsewhere citing recent announcements by regional banks and insurers to raise fresh capital.
