CAD to AUD Forecast & Outlook

18 Jun 2026 • 00:25 GMT

CAD/AUD 1.0100

📊 Forecast snapshot

  • Near-term bias: 🔴 Mild downside
  • Expected range: 0.9880 – 1.0100
  • Dominant driver: ⚖️ Interest-rate differentials
  • 3-month trend: 🟢 Uptrend

Currently, CAD/AUD is trading near 1.0100, close to its 7-day lows and below its 3-month average of 1.0216. The pair’s recent trading within a narrow range suggests limited momentum, with risk sentiment supporting a weaker Canadian dollar. Over the next few sessions, broader risk on conditions may keep the pair trading close to recent lows, maintaining pressure on the CAD.

💸 Transfer implications

  • Expats: sending money to Australia may find current exchange rates less favourable than recent levels.
  • Travellers: exchanging currency might face limited improvements if the pair remains supported by risk appetite.
  • Businesses: paying Australian dollar invoices could encounter less advantageous rates for CAD payments.

🧭 Key drivers

  • Rate gap: The gap remains narrow, with no clear policy divergence influencing the current exchange rate.
  • Risk/commodities: Risk-on sentiment continues to pressure risk-sensitive currencies like CAD and AUD.
  • Global factors: Ongoing global risk appetite supports the overall risk environment, keeping the pair under downward pressure.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A shift to risk-off sentiment could support CAD, pushing the pair above recent lows.
  • Downside risk: A rebound in risk appetite may deepen the pair’s decline if global markets strengthen.

Shopping around for the lowest margin providers may help reduce overall transfer costs.

 

AUDCAD Bank Forecasts to end of the year

The long-term outlook for AUDCAD is mixed as it approaches the end of 2026. The National Australia Bank (NAB) sees the pair rising to 0.94 by mid-2026, which suggests room for appreciation through the end of the year, supported by ongoing rate hikes from the Reserve Bank of Australia. However, Scotiabank's lack of a specific AUDCAD outlook implies that the Canadian dollar's weakness, driven by Canada's economic challenges, could complicate the forecast landscape.

Big bank views

  • NAB projects AUDCAD at 0.94 by mid-2026, suggesting an end-of-year increase.
  • Scotiabank does not provide a direct AUDCAD forecast but highlights CAD's downward pressure.
  • Overall forecasts for AUDCAD are mixed, reflecting diverging economic factors in Australia and Canada.

What could change the outlook

  • Any additional rate hikes by the Reserve Bank of Australia could further bolster the AUD.
  • Economic recovery signs in Canada could strengthen the CAD and alter current forecasts.
