LONDON, Nov 23 (Reuters) - The Norwegian crown jumped to its highest in six weeks and the Australian and Canadian dollars recovered some losses on Monday after oil prices jumped on a Saudi government briefing note saying it was ready to cooperate in maintaining stable markets.
The crown EURNOK= rose to its strongest since the start of October at 9.1635 crowns per euro after oil prices jumped more than 3 percent in the space of around 20 minutes following initial reports on the Saudi position.
Some traders said the Saudi position was nothing new, but it came in a nervy run in to the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, which will be followed by a meeting of OPEC.
The Canadian dollar, traditionally tied to the value of oil, was flat on the day at C$1.3340, having been down sharply, while the Aussie recovered around a third of a cent to $0.7203.
