CAD to AUD Forecast & Outlook

18 Apr 2026 • 00:28 GMT

CAD/AUD 1.0115

📊 Forecast snapshot

  • Near-term bias: 🔴 Mild downside
  • Expected range: 0.9940 – 1.0120
  • Dominant driver: 🌍 Global risk sentiment
  • 3-month trend: ⚪ Range-bound

Currently, CAD/AUD is trading close to recent lows near 1.0115, supported by risk-off sentiment. Over the next few sessions, this pair may remain pressured if risk aversion continues to dominate, keeping the Canadian Dollar weaker relative to the Australian Dollar.

💸 Transfer implications

  • Expats: sending money to Australia may find current levels less favourable than recent ones.
  • Travellers: exchanging currency could face pressure if the pair declines further.
  • Businesses: paying Australian invoices in CAD may encounter slightly less advantageous rates and should monitor market moves.

🧭 Key drivers

  • Rate gap: The policy and yield gap between the Canadian and Australian Dollars remains largely unchanged, with no clear directional shift.
  • Risk/commodities: Risk sentiment remains vulnerable; safe-haven flows support the CAD while commodities, including oil, have stabilized but remain fragile.
  • Global factors: Geopolitical tensions and U.S. economic data continue to influence risk appetite, pressuring risk-sensitive FX like CAD and AUD.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A shift towards risk-on sentiment or improvements in commodity prices could support the pair.
  • Downside risk: A fresh escalation in geopolitical tensions or a deterioration in global risk conditions could deepen the pair’s decline.

Finding providers with lower margins may help offset less favourable exchange conditions.
