The Canadian dollar climbed against its major counterparts in the New York session on Monday, as oil prices rose after OPEC+ agreed to push back its December production increase by at least a month, prioritizing price support over regaining market share.

Crude for December delivery rose $1.68 to $71.17 per barrel.

The group led by Saudi Arabia and Russia was supposed to begin a series of monthly production increases by adding 180,000 barrels a day from December.

Now, the decision has been postponed due to recent pressure on prices from weak demand growth, especially in China and Europe.

Oil prices also remain supported by persisting Middle East tensions and expectations of China's fiscal stimulus.

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has vowed that Israel and the U.S. would face a "teeth-breaking response" for their actions against the country.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Iran is planning a complex attack on Israel, which may include missiles with high-powered warheads.

The loonie edged up to 0.9146 against the aussie and 1.5117 against the euro, from an early 10-day low of 0.9205 and more than a 2-month low of 1.5170, respectively. The currency is poised to challenge resistance around 0.90 against the aussie and 1.49 against the euro.

The loonie touched 1.3875 against the greenback, setting a 10-day high. If the loonie rises further, it is likely to test resistance around the 1.36 region.

The loonie rebounded to 109.56 against the yen, off an early low of 109.00. The currency is likely to locate resistance around the 110.5 level.
