CAD to AUD Forecast & Outlook

25 Jun 2026 • 00:25 GMT

CAD/AUD 1.0183

📊 Forecast snapshot

  • Near-term bias: 🔴 Mild downside
  • Expected range: 1.0180 – 1.0490
  • Dominant driver: ⚖️ Interest-rate differentials
  • 3-month trend: 🟢 Uptrend

Currently, CAD/AUD is trading near its 3-month average, holding near recent 7-day highs around 1.0183. The pair is consolidating within its recent range, with the dominant driver being the rate differential, which favors the Australian Dollar due to the Canadian Dollar’s relative weakness. The pair’s current position suggests the short-term bias is towards a decrease, supported by risk-off conditions and global risk sentiment, which tend to push investors toward safe havens over risk-sensitive currencies like the AUD. Near-term conditions suggest the pair may remain supported by these factors, but it could face pressure if risk appetite improves.

💸 Transfer implications

  • Expats: sending money to Australia may find conditions slightly less favourable than recent levels.
  • Travellers: buying AUD cash might see limited support for the Australian Dollar in the short term.
  • Businesses: paying AUD invoices with CAD could encounter less favourable exchange rates if the pair declines further.

🧭 Key drivers

  • Rate gap: The rate differential favors the AUD, with the RBA holding steady while the Bank of Canada faces economic challenges.
  • Risk/commodities: The risk-off environment supports the safe-haven US Dollar and pressures risk-sensitive FX, including CAD and AUD.
  • Global factors: Market caution driven by wider risk sentiment continues to influence the pair, supported by global macro conditions.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A further slowdown in risk aversion or fresh signs of Australian rate hikes could lift the pair.
  • Downside risk: Improved Canadian economic data could strengthen the CAD and push the pair lower.

BER suggestions: comparing FX providers may help offset less favourable exchange conditions, and shopping around for the lowest margin provider can reduce total 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.
