About USD/CAD
USD/CAD — the "Loonie", after the bird on Canada's one-dollar coin — quotes the US dollar against the Canadian dollar, with one pip equal to 0.0001. Canada is one of the world's largest crude-oil exporters and the United States is by far its dominant trading partner, so the pair carries a well-known inverse relationship with oil: rising crude prices tend to strengthen the Canadian dollar and push USD/CAD lower.
Policy is set by the Bank of Canada against the Federal Reserve, and because the two economies are so tightly integrated, the pair often trades on the relative surprise in simultaneous data — Canadian jobs and CPI frequently land at the same time as US releases, producing sharp two-way moves. Liquidity is deepest in the North American session.
The market for USD/CAD is currently closed. At the last close it stood at 1.4007, a move of +0.0004 (+0.03%) versus the previous close of 1.4003, after ranging between 1.3968 and 1.4019 over that session. FXMARE's technical engine currently reads the setup as Sell.

USD/CAD — frequently asked questions
What is the live USD/CAD forex rate?
This page shows the live USD/CAD rate - how many Canadian dollars one US dollar buys - with an intraday chart and the day's range. One pip is 0.0001. Liquidity is deepest during North American hours, because both economies share the same business day rather than trading in separate sessions.
Why does USD/CAD move with oil prices?
Canada is one of the world's largest crude exporters and sells the bulk of it to the United States, so higher oil prices lift Canadian export income and tend to strengthen the Canadian dollar - which pushes USD/CAD lower. It is a tendency rather than a rule: the link weakens whenever a broad US dollar move or a policy shift dominates.
What data moves USD/CAD?
Bank of Canada and Federal Reserve decisions set the trend, and because the two economies are so tightly integrated the pair often trades on the relative surprise between paired releases rather than on either number alone. Canadian jobs and inflation data frequently land in the same slot as their US equivalents, producing sharp two-way moves within seconds of the print.
What does the USD/CAD 52-week range show?
The 52-week range is the lowest low and the highest high USD/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 1.3484 – 1.4299.
