Sept. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Australia’s dollar is set to rise against Canada’s as the South Pacific nation’s economy improves, increasing its yield advantage, Commonwealth Bank of Australia said today in a note to clients.

“We expect the two-year bond spread to widen as Australia’s economy further improves ahead of Canada’s,” Joseph Capurso, a currency strategist in Sydney at Commonwealth Bank, wrote today in a note to clients.

Australia’s currency traded at 92.76 Canadian cents as of 12:27 p.m. in Sydney, up 1.8 percent over the past month.
