    What are CAD to USD forecasts?

    The Canadian Dollar (CAD) has experienced mixed movement recently, regaining ground as oil prices rise. The bounce back in CAD can be attributed to the stronger oil prices and the US Dollar (USD) recovery. With limited Canadian economic data available, the currency's trading relationships with the USD and oil prices are expected to continue driving its movement. On the other hand, the US Dollar has rallied after a recent uptick in the core PCE price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of inflation. As a result, fresh bets on a Fed rate hike have strengthened the USD. However, a forecasted drop in consumer confidence could potentially pull the USD lower.

    How to get a good CAD to USD exchange rate

    There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Canadian dollar to US dollar:

    1. Shop around for the best CAD/USD exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
    2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the CAD/USD rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
    3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
    4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both CAD and USD at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
    5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

    The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

    Generally speaking, if you are buying US dollar with Canadian dollar, then it's better for the CAD/USD exchange rate to be higher.

    However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

    The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

    Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

    It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.

    Will the Canadian dollar rise against the US dollar?

    It is almost impossible to predict what an exchange rate will do in the future, the best approach is to monitor the currency markets and transact when an exchange rate moves in your favour.

    To help with this you can add CAD/USD to your personalised BER Smart Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
