Understanding the pair
In AUD/CAD the Australian Dollar is the base currency and the Canadian Dollar is the quote currency. The rate tells you how many CAD one AUD buys, so a rising AUD/CAD means the Australian Dollar is strengthening against the Canadian Dollar.
AUD/CAD is a minor (cross) pair: it combines two major currencies without the US dollar, so its rate is effectively the product of two dollar pairs and spreads are typically a little wider than the majors. In practice its price moves with AUD/USD and USD/CAD (or their inverses).
Prices are quoted to 5 decimal places here. One pip is 0.0001, so on a standard lot of 100,000 AUD a one-pip move is worth 10 CAD — use the pip calculator to convert that into your account currency.
Liquidity in AUD/CAD is usually deepest when both home markets are open — the Sydney (07:00–16:00 Sydney time) and New York (08:00–17:00 New York time) sessions. See live session times on the market hours clock.
Often treated as a commodity and China-sensitive currency because Australia is a large exporter of iron ore, coal and LNG. It tends to be sensitive to global growth and risk sentiment.
Central bank: Reserve Bank of Australia
Canada is a major crude-oil exporter with deep trade ties to the United States, so the loonie is often linked to oil prices and to the US economic cycle.
Central bank: Bank of Canada
AUD/CAD shows how many Canadian Dollar (CAD) one Australian Dollar (AUD) buys. AUD is the base currency and CAD is the quote currency. If the rate rises, the Australian Dollar has strengthened against the Canadian Dollar.
No. It is derived from the euro foreign exchange reference rates published by the European Central Bank once per working day around 16:00 CET. It is useful for reference, budgeting and calculator inputs, but it is not an executable trading quote — a broker's bid and ask will differ.
By convention one pip in AUD/CAD is 0.0001 because the pair is quoted in CAD. On a standard lot of 100,000 AUD, a one-pip move is worth 10 CAD. Brokers may quote an extra decimal (a pipette).
Liquidity is typically deepest when both home markets are open: the Sydney (07:00–16:00 Sydney time) and New York (08:00–17:00 New York time) sessions, and especially where they overlap.
