Dominant driver🌍 Global risk sentiment
3-month trend⚪ Range-bound
Currently, CAD/AUD is trading close to its 90-day average and within its recent range, held near recent highs. The pair remains supported by risk-off sentiment and geopolitical tensions, which favour safe havens like the USD. Over the next few sessions, the pair could face downward pressure as risk sentiment stays cautious, and global risk aversion persists, potentially limiting recent gains in AUD.
💸 Transfer implications
- Expats: sending money to Australia may find current exchange conditions less favourable than recent levels.
- Travellers: buying AUD cash or loading foreign currency cards could face pressure if the pair declines further.
- Businesses: paying AUD invoices with CAD may see costs increase if the pair weakens further.
🧭 Key drivers
- Rate gap: The Canadian Dollar is influenced by the neutral policy stance of the BoC; the RBA's policy remains slightly hawkish, maintaining the pair near its range.
- Risk/commodities: Global risk-off conditions support safe-havens and pressure risk-sensitive FX like AUD; commodities remain volatile amid geopolitical tensions.
- Global factors: USD strength driven by geopolitical tensions and risk aversion remains a dominant global influence.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A shift to risk-on conditions could strengthen the AUD, especially if commodity prices stabilize.
- Downside risk: A further escalation in geopolitical tensions or a sustained risk-off environment could cause the pair to weaken further.
