* Canadian dollar at C$1.3018, or 76.82 U.S. cents
* Bond prices higher across the maturity curve
TORONTO, June 27 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar edged lower
against its U.S. counterpart on Monday as Britain's vote to
leave the European Union sent new shockwaves through financial
markets, weighing on Canada's risk-sensitive currency.
Global stocks and oil prices fell as market participants
absorbed the shock of Brexit. U.S. crude CLc1
prices were down 2.14 percent at $46.62 a barrel.
Losses for the loonie came after it fell 1.7 percent on
Friday, its largest drop in 17 months.
Canada's commodity-linked economy will suffer weaker growth
because of Britain's vote to leave the EU, which has put the
prospect of Canadian interest rate cuts back on the table.
Overnight index swaps implied a 33-percent chance of a Bank
of Canada rate cut this year after having been priced for no
change in policy before Brexit. BOCWATCH

the week ended June 21 from 18,440 contracts in prior week.

maturity curve in sympathy with Treasuries as safe-haven assets
