What moves the CAD/AUD rate
The Canadian Dollar is mainly influenced by Bank of Canada policy and the prices of oil and other commodities Canada exports. The Australian Dollar is mainly influenced by Reserve Bank of Australia policy, iron ore and other commodity prices, and demand from China. When these forces push the two currencies in different directions, the CAD/AUD rate moves; when they move together, the rate tends to stay steadier.
How this rate is calculated
Rates are fetched from Frankfurter, which publishes the European Central Bank's daily reference rates (updated once per working day), and from ExchangeRate-API for currencies the ECB does not cover. All rates are stored against the euro, so the CAD/AUD figure is a cross rate: the euro value of AUD divided by the euro value of CAD. These are indicative mid-market reference rates and may differ from the rates offered by banks, card issuers and payment providers.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert CAD to AUD?
Enter an amount in Canadian Dollar and the converter multiplies it by the latest daily CAD/AUD reference rate to show the value in Australian Dollar. To go the other way, AUD to CAD, divide by the same rate or use the swap button.
Where does the CAD to AUD rate come from?
Rates come from Frankfurter, which republishes daily European Central Bank reference rates, with ExchangeRate-API filling in currencies the ECB does not publish. They are cached in your browser for up to an hour.
Is this the CAD to AUD rate my bank will give me?
No. These are mid-market, indicative rates. Banks, card providers and transfer services usually add a margin or fee, so the Australian Dollar you actually receive is typically a little lower.
