TORONTO, Aug 28 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar weakened
against its U.S. counterpart on Friday, reversing almost all of
the previous day's gains, as crude oil slipped back and cautious
sentiment pervaded global markets.
The currency is on track for a 0.8 percent decline over the
week, a tumultuous time when gyrations in China were felt across
asset classes and geographies. ID:nL5N1131XE
At 8:42 a.m. ET (1242 GMT), the Canadian dollar CAD=D4 was
trading at C$1.3277 to the greenback, or 75.32 U.S. cents,
weaker than the Bank of Canada's official Thursday close of
C$1.3218, or 75.65 U.S. cents.

C$1.3167, while its weakest was C$1.33.

July, the third consecutive monthly gain, on higher prices for

barrel, while Brent crude LCOc1 fell 1.3 percent to $46.96.
