CAD to AUD Forecast & Outlook

22 Jul 2026 • 00:26 GMT

CAD/AUD 1.0127

📊 Forecast snapshot

  • Near-term bias: 🔴 Mild downside
  • Expected range: 0.9880 – 1.0130
  • Dominant driver: ⚖️ Interest-rate differentials
  • 3-month trend: 🔴 Downtrend

Currently, CAD/AUD is trading close to 14-day lows near 1.0127, below its 3-month average, and confined within a narrow range. The dominant driver remains the rate differential, with the Canadian dollar weakening against the Australian dollar. Risk-off global conditions supported by US dollar strength and safe-haven flows are also weighing on risk-sensitive currencies. Near-term conditions suggest the pair could remain supported by these broad macro trends, likely holding within its recent range.

💸 Transfer implications

  • Expats: sending money to Australia may find current levels less favourable than recent, with CAD expected to weaken further.
  • Travellers: exchanging currency might face pressure if the pair declines, making AUD more expensive.
  • Businesses: paying Australian invoices could see costs rise as the CAD diminishes in value against the AUD.

🧭 Key drivers

  • Rate gap: The Bank of Canada's cautious stance contrasts with the Reserve Bank of Australia's relatively hawkish signals, supporting a weaker CAD.
  • Risk/commodities: Risk-off sentiment driven by US dollar strength and safe-haven flows continues to pressure risk-sensitive FX like CAD.
  • Global factors: US monetary policy outlook remains supportive of USD strength, influencing CAD outlook indirectly.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A sudden shift towards risk appetite or a dovish shift in US policy could support the CAD.
  • Downside risk: A sharp escalation in global risk aversion, pushing safe-haven flows higher, could further depress the CAD against the AUD.

BER suggests comparing FX providers to find lower margins, which can help reduce overall transfer costs in a less favourable exchange environment.

 

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.
