CAD to AUD 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent loonie → aussie forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Canadian dollar to Australian dollar performance and trends.

 

The CAD to AUD exchange rate currently shows a bearish bias, reflecting recent economic challenges in Canada.

Key drivers influencing this trend include: Interest rates in Canada being stable at 2.25%, while the Reserve Bank of Australia may hike rates to 3.85% in early 2026. Additionally, weak manufacturing activity in Canada, with PMI data showing contraction, has negatively impacted the CAD. On the other hand, a recent stronger jobs report in Canada helps bolster confidence slightly.

The CAD/AUD pairing is expected to remain within a stable range as market volatility lessens, trading in a narrow scope for the next few months.

Upside risks include potential oil price recovery, which could strengthen the CAD due to Canada’s status as a major oil exporter. Conversely, a strong Australian dollar driven by continued expectations for RBA rate hikes could exert downward pressure on this currency pair.

Current price data shows CAD/AUD at 1.0884, slightly below the three-month average, while oil prices hover around $60.82, indicating ongoing market volatility.
