CAD to AUD Forecast & Outlook

16 Jul 2026 • 00:28 GMT

CAD/AUD 1.0165

📊 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 within its recent 3-month range, supported by risk-off conditions and geopolitical tensions. The pair is near its 3-month highs but trading close to the 1.02 level, indicating potential for a short-term decline. Near-term conditions suggest a weaker Canadian dollar against the Australian dollar if risk aversion persists.

💸 Transfer implications

  • Expats: sending money to Australia may find conversion slightly less favourable than recent levels if the pair declines.
  • Travellers: exchanging Canadian dollars for Australian cash could face slightly higher costs in the short run.
  • Businesses: paying invoices in AUD using CAD might see less advantageous rates if the pair moves lower.

🧭 Key drivers

  • Rate gap: The Australian Reserve Bank's cautious stance versus the neutral Canadian interest rate environment keeps the pair supported for now.
  • Risk/commodities: Elevated risk-off sentiment and geopolitical tensions are pressuring risk-sensitive currencies, including CAD.
  • Global factors: Global risk appetite remains cautious, with geopolitical tensions and high inflation weighing on markets.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A shift toward risk-on sentiment or improved geopolitical stability could support the pair.
  • Downside risk: A resurgence of risk aversion or sharp commodity price drops could push the Canadian dollar lower.

BER suggestions include comparing FX providers to find lower margins and 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.
