* Canadian dollar at C$1.3166, or 75.95 U.S. cents
* Bond prices little changed across the maturity curve

TORONTO, Oct 30 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar was
unchanged against its U.S. counterpart on Friday, trading in a
tight range after two days of gains and on track for a 1.4
percent rise in October.
The currency initially slipped after gross domestic product
figures for August showed modest gains, in line with
expectations, before retracing. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL1N12U0Y7
"The wider theme I would say is towards a stronger U.S.
dollar on the heels of the Fed," said David Tulk, chief Canada
macro strategist at Toronto-Dominion Bank. "It's very much a
wait-and-see proposition at this stage."
* At 9:28 a.m. ET (1328 GMT), the Canadian dollar CAD=D4
was trading at C$1.3166 to the greenback, or 75.95 U.S. cents,

barrel, while Brent LCOc1 added 0.88 percent to $49.23. O/R
* The Canadian dollar, which fell against most key
currencies, is expected to trade between C$1.3080 and C$1.3180
against the greenback on Friday, according to RBC Capital
Markets.

the maturity curve, with the two-year CA2YT=RR flat to yield
0.576 percent and the benchmark 10-year CA10YT=RR up 4
