CAD to AUD Forecast & Outlook

25 Jul 2026 • 00:26 GMT

CAD/AUD 1.0163

📊 Forecast snapshot

  • Near-term bias: 🔴 Mild downside
  • Expected range: 1.0090 – 1.0270
  • Dominant driver: 🌍 Global risk sentiment
  • 3-month trend: ⚪ Range-bound

Currently, CAD/AUD is trading near its 3-month average within a stable 2.2% range. The dominant driver from structured analysis is risk sentiment, with global risk aversion and geopolitical tensions pressuring risk-sensitive currencies like the AUD. With risk-off conditions prevailing, the pair may remain supported by cautious risk appetite, but recent range-bound behavior suggests limited near-term momentum. Near-term conditions suggest the pair could face downward pressure if risk sentiment worsens further.

💸 Transfer implications

  • Expats: sending money to Australia using CAD may find transfers slightly less favourable than recent levels.
  • Travellers: buying AUD cash or loading currency cards may face slightly higher costs.
  • Businesses: paying Australian invoices with CAD could see margin pressures increase if the pair declines.

🧭 Key drivers

  • Rate gap: The policy stance remains cautious with the RBA holding a neutral tone while the BoC is more data-dependent, supporting a smaller rate differential.
  • Risk/commodities: Global risk aversion and geopolitical tensions are supporting safe-haven currencies over risk-sensitive ones like AUD.
  • Global factors: Market risk sentiment remains the primary influence, with safe-haven flows generally strengthening the CAD.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A clear improvement in global risk appetite could support a stronger CAD.
  • Downside risk: Further escalation of geopolitical tensions or global risk aversion could intensify pressure on risk-sensitive currencies, pushing CAD/AUD lower.

BER suggestions: Comparing FX providers may help offset less favourable exchange conditions or find lower margins to reduce 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.
