AUD/CAD (AUDCAD)
AUD/CAD is the exchange rate between the Australian Dollar (AUD) and the Canadian Dollar (CAD): how many units of the Canadian Dollar are needed to buy one unit of the Australian Dollar. AUDCAD is a cross rate and is quoted without the US dollar.
The pair is driven mainly by monetary policy from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Bank of Canada (BoC), together with inflation, interest rates, labour-market data, GDP, commodity prices and overall risk sentiment. Without the US dollar inside the pair, liquidity is thinner than in the majors and moves can be sharper.

FAQ AUD/CAD
What is AUD/CAD?
AUD/CAD, also written as AUDCAD, is the exchange rate between the Australian Dollar and the Canadian Dollar — how many units of the Canadian Dollar are needed to buy one Australian Dollar. It is a cross rate, so it does not contain the US dollar.
Why does AUD/CAD move?
The main long-term driver is the difference between the monetary policies of the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and the Bank of Canada (BoC). In the short term the pair reacts to inflation, employment and GDP releases, commodity prices and global risk sentiment.
Why is the interest-rate differential important?
When one central bank keeps rates higher than the other, assets in that currency usually look more attractive and capital tends to move towards it. A widening differential typically supports the higher-yielding currency, while a narrowing one works against it.
When is the most active trading period?
Liquidity in AUD/CAD is highest during the London–New York overlap, roughly 12:00–16:00 UTC, when spreads are usually tighter. Asian-session moves often react to data from Australia.
