TORONTO, Oct 29 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar weakened to a 12-week low against its U.S. counterpart on Tuesday as oil prices fell and investors weighed rising domestic political uncertainty.
The loonie was trading 0.2% lower at 1.3915 per U.S. dollar, or 71.86 U.S. cents, after touching its weakest intraday level since Aug. 5 at 1.3929. Since late September, the currency has weakened 3.6%.
"Markets dislike uncertainty, and right now, the political landscape is quite unpredictable," said Tony Valente, senior FX dealer at AscendantFX.
