  • Expected range: 1.2380 – 1.2610
  • Dominant driver: 🌍 Global risk sentiment
  • 3-month trend: 🔴 Downtrend

Currently, CAD/NZD is trading near its 3-month average within a stable range, with risk sentiment driving the move. The pair remains supported by a risk-off environment and geopolitical tensions. Near-term conditions suggest it may face pressure if risk conditions worsen further.

🧭 Key drivers

  • Rate gap: The policy and yield differential between Canada and New Zealand remains essentially unchanged.
  • Risk/commodities: Elevated risk sentiment and geopolitical tensions continue to pressure risk-sensitive currencies.
  • Global factors: The dominant driver remains risk sentiment, with safe-haven flows supporting the USD, CHF, and JPY.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A retreat in risk aversion or geopolitical tensions could support CAD/NZD and improve exchange conditions.
  • Downside risk: Escalating geopolitical tensions or worsening risk sentiment could further pressure the pair.

BER suggests shopping around for the lowest margin provider may help reduce overall transfer costs.
