Blather (from http://quotes.ino.com/exchanges/?r=CME_CD)

The December Canadian dollar closed down 275 points at .7734 today. Prices closed near the session low and hit a fresh four-week low today. Bears still have the near-term technical advantage and gained more power today.

Analysis

Everything was down (not sure about the greenback). Note that the ozzie lost against the loonie. The Yen seems to be the least hit.

I've added the TSE graph above. It's crashing again today, down over 400 points. The loonie's fallen two cents since opening - no idea why.
