A Canadian dollar coin, commonly known as the "Loonie", is pictured in this illustration picture taken in Toronto January 23, 2015.
The loonie was trading 0.1% higher at 1.3515 to the greenback, or 73.99 U.S. cents, after moving in a range of 1.3505 to 1.3557.
For the month, the currency lost 2.4%, its biggest monthly decline since February.
"The laggards (in August) among G10 currencies are predominantly the commodity complex," said Michael Goshko, senior market analyst at Convera Canada.
Canadian government bond yields were mixed across the curve, with the 10-year down 1 basis point at 3.566%.
