CAD to AUD Forecast & Outlook

29 Apr 2026 • 00:27 GMT

CAD/AUD 1.0170

📊 Forecast snapshot

  • Near-term bias: 🔴 Mild downside
  • Expected range: 0.9940 – 1.0170
  • Dominant driver: 🌍 Global risk sentiment
  • 3-month trend: ⚪ Range-bound

Currently, CAD/AUD is trading close to recent lows near 1.0170, below its 3-month average and within a narrow range. The dominant driver of the pair is risk sentiment, which remains biased towards safe-haven currencies. Over the next few sessions, the pair may remain supported by risk-off conditions, but current levels could face downward pressure if risk appetite returns.

💸 Transfer implications

  • Expats: sending money to Australia may become less favourable than recent levels if CAD weakens further.
  • Travellers: exchanging Canadian Dollars for Australian Dollars might see less advantageous rates if conditions persist.
  • Businesses: paying Australian Dollar invoices with CAD could face higher costs if the pair extends its decline.

🧭 Key drivers

  • Rate gap: The policy and yield gap between Canada and Australia remains unchanged, with no clear advantage for either currency.
  • Risk/commodities: Risk-off sentiment supports safe-havens, while commodities like energy prices influence CAD’s profile.
  • Global factors: Calm geopolitical conditions and subdued risk aversion underpin the pair’s current support levels.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A shift in risk appetite or a rally in commodities could support CAD and trigger a rebound.
  • Downside risk: Renewed risk aversion or energy price declines could push the pair lower.

BER suggests shopping around for the lowest margin provider may help reduce overall transfer costs and offset less favourable exchange conditions.
