About GBP/CAD
GBP/CAD quotes the British pound against the Canadian dollar, meaning how many Canadian dollars one pound buys. It is a cross with no US-dollar leg. Sterling is driven by UK data and Bank of England policy, while the Canadian dollar is a commodity currency: Canada is a major crude-oil exporter, and the United States is by far its largest trading partner, so oil prices and the US economy weigh heavily on the Canadian side.
The medium-term trend follows the expected gap between Bank of England and Bank of Canada interest rates, so UK inflation and labour data on one side and Canadian inflation, employment and BoC decisions on the other carry the most weight. UK data are released in the London morning and Canadian data in North American hours, so the pair is busiest during the London and New York sessions. As a cross, its spreads are usually wider than GBP/USD or USD/CAD.
The market for GBP/CAD is currently closed. At the last close it stood at 1.8726, a move of -0.0026 (-0.14%) versus the previous close of 1.8752, after ranging between 1.8686 and 1.8767 over that session. FXMARE's technical engine currently reads the setup as Sell.

GBP/CAD — frequently asked questions
What is the GBP to CAD rate today?
This page shows the live GBP/CAD rate, meaning how many Canadian dollars one British pound buys, with an intraday chart and the day's range. Banks and money-transfer providers add their own margin to this market rate, so the rate you receive when sending money between the UK and Canada is usually less favourable.
What moves GBP/CAD?
The policy gap between the Bank of England and the Bank of Canada, UK and Canadian inflation and jobs data, and oil prices, which matter for the Canadian dollar because energy is a large part of Canada's exports.
What does the GBP/CAD 52-week range show?
The 52-week range is the lowest low and the highest high GBP/CAD printed across the past 52 weeks of daily bars, so it shows where the current price sits relative to that year's extremes. Computed from FXMARE's daily price history, the current 52-week range is 1.8018 – 1.9041.
