AUD to CAD Forecast & Outlook

18 Jul 2026 • 00:25 GMT

AUD/CAD 0.9790

📊 Forecast snapshot

  • Near-term bias: ⚪ Range-bound
  • Expected range: 0.9740 – 0.9910
  • Dominant driver: 🏦 Central bank policy divergence
  • 3-month trend: 🟢 Uptrend

Currently, AUD/CAD is trading near its 14-day lows just below the 3-month average, holding within a very stable range. The dominant driver from the policy outlook remains the central bank stance, with the RBA maintaining a cautious approach that caps upward moves. Over the next few sessions, the pair may remain supported by this policy outlook and range-bound trade conditions, keeping short-term directional moves limited.

💸 Transfer implications

  • Expats: sending money to Canada may find current exchange conditions relatively stable but should be aware of limited support for AUD gains.
  • Travellers: exchanging currency could see limited movement, though current levels are near recent lows.
  • Businesses: paying Canadian invoices with AUD may face slightly less favourable conditions if the pair remains suppressed.

🧭 Key drivers

  • Rate gap: The RBA's cautious stance keeps AUD supportive but not strongly bullish, maintaining the pair near its lows.
  • Risk/commodities: Global trade tensions and geopolitical risks sustain a range-bound environment for AUD/CAD.
  • Global factors: Overall risk sentiment remains neutral, with no clear safe-haven moves dominating.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A shift toward more hawkish rhetoric from the RBA could support a stronger AUD.
  • Downside risk: Increased risk aversion or commodity price drops might weaken the AUD further.

Shopping around for the lowest margin provider may help reduce overall transfer costs.

 

AUDCAD Bank Forecasts to end of the year

The forecasts for AUDCAD through the end of the year show a range of views. UBS suggests a tactical opportunity to go long on AUDCAD with a target of 1.01, driven by divergent monetary policies with the RBA's hawkish stance contrasting the BoC's neutral position. However, Scotiabank and TD Securities provide projections that imply a gradual strengthening of the Canadian dollar against the US dollar, which could indirectly affect AUDCAD.

Big bank views

  • UBS recommends going long on AUDCAD, targeting 1.01, due to RBA's hawkish stance versus BoC's neutral position.
  • Scotiabank suggests USDCAD at 1.33 by year-end, which implies a stronger Canadian dollar.
  • TD Securities sees USDCAD drifting towards 1.34, indicating potential Canadian dollar strength.

What could change the outlook

  • A shift in the RBA or BoC's monetary policy stance could significantly influence the AUDCAD trajectory.
  • Volatility in global commodity prices, particularly oil, could impact the Canadian dollar and alter forecasts.
