Canadian dollar tumbles

TORONTO - The Canadian dollar dropped by more than a cent in afternoon trading Friday, as currency markets reacted to the prospect of further interest rate cuts in Canada.

The loonie was trading at 75.90 cents US at 1:16 p.m EST, off 1.30 cents US from Thursday's close.

On Thursday, the Bank of Canada cautioned that economic growth for 2004 will be lower than the central bank forecast in October. The bank said the domestic economy should expand by 2.75 per cent in 2004, down from the 3.25 per cent growth it had predicted last autumn.
