The Canadian dollar extended its early rally against its most major rivals in early New York deals on Friday, after data showed that the Canadian economy added more jobs than forecast in March.

Data from Statistics Canada showed that the employment grew a seasonally adjusted 19,400 jobs in March, outstripping forecasts for an addition of 5,700 jobs. In February, the economy added 15,300 jobs.

The jobless rate rose 0.1 percent to 6.7 percent in March from 6.6 percent last month. The reading was in line with forecasts.

The loonie extended rally to a 2-day high of 83.05 against the yen, off its early low of 82.10.

The loonie spiked up to 1.0028 against the aussie, its highest since February 24, while reaching a 4-day high of 1.4180 against the euro.

The loonie may possibly find resistance around the 84.00 against the yen, 0.99 against the aussie and 1.40 against the euro.
