"The Canadian dollar slippedagainst the U.S. dollar on Wednesday, easing from a 3-1/2 monthhigh hit in the previous session, but stuck in a tight range asinvestors hesitated to make big bets ahead of a key speech byFederal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Friday.    Bernanke is scheduled to address a conference of centralbankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and could signal new measuresto boost growth. He is expected to stoke expectations for athird round of quantitative easing, though he may not detail thetiming of such a measure.     A slew of European and North American economic dataincluding the Norwegian central bank's rate decision, Germaninflation, Canadian producer prices and U.S. GDP were expectedto provide some further direction.    &amp;quot;It won't be for a lack of data but the market itself ismyopic with respect to Jackson Hole and it's long onanticipation and it's short on tolerance,&amp;quot; said Jack Spitz,managing director of foreign exchange at National BankFinancial.    Traders also speculated that news European Central BankPresident Mario Draghi was too busy to attend Friday's JacksonHole meeting renewed hopes he could announce a long-awaited planto bring down Spanish and Italian borrowing costs at the ECB'sSept. 6 policy meeting.     &amp;quot;The market may be disappointed by (Draghi) as well but Ithink we're talking about event risks as they happen and they'regoing to be fast and furious starting this Friday,&amp;quot; added Spitz.    At 8:07 a.m. (1207 GMT), the Canadian dollar stood atC$0.9888 versus the greenback, or $1.0113, softer than Tuesday'sNorth American session close at C$0.9878 against the U.S.dollar, or $1.0124.     Lower oil prices did little to help Canada'scommodity-driven currency on Friday as Hurricane Isaac, whichhit land in Louisiana, left U.S. Gulf Coast oil productionfacilities without significant damage.     So far on Friday, the Canadian dollar traded in a narrow23-point range between C$0.9876-99.    Spitz saw near-term Canadian dollar support around C$0.9920and resistance around C$0.9843.    Canadian bond prices drifted lower across the curve, withthe two-year bond off 2 Canadian cents to yield 1.176percent and the benchmark 10-year bond down 7Canadian cents to yield 1.805 percent."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
