Recent analysis of the AUD to CAD exchange rate highlights several key factors influencing forecasts for both currencies. The Australian dollar (AUD) had gained some traction following robust inflation figures, which likely reduced expectations for further interest rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). However, as market sentiment turned sour, the AUD struggled to maintain these gains. Analysts note that upcoming trade figures from Australia could further impact the currency, especially if export growth continues to falter.

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting Australian dollar to Canadian dollar:
Generally speaking, if you are buying Canadian dollar with Australian dollar, then it's better for the AUD/CAD 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.
