Canadian Dollar Faq
The key factors that drive the Canadian dollar (CAD) are the level of interest rates set by Bank of Canada (BOC), oil price, the largest Canada export, economy health, inflation and commercial balance, which is the difference between the value of Canada exports compared to its import. Other factors include market moods-notterlessly from whether investors take more risky assets (risk), or are looking for safe and sound havens (risk)-risk that is positive. As the largest commercial partner, the health of the American economy is also a key factor affecting the Canadian dollar.
Bank of Canada (BOC) has a significant impact on the Canadian dollar, determining the level of interest rates that banks can borrow. This affects the level of interest rates for everyone. The main goal of BOC is to maintain inflation of 1-3% by adjusting interest rates up or down. Relatively higher interest rates are usually positive for CAD. Bank of Canada can also apply quantitative alleviation and tightening to affect credit conditions, with former negative CAD and the second positive.
The price of oil is a key factor affecting the value of the Canadian dollar. Petroleum is the largest Canada export, so the price of oil tends to immediately affect the value of CAD. Basically, if the oil price also increases CAD, as the number of demand for currency increases. Otherwise, the price of oil will drop. Higher oil prices usually cause a greater probability of a positive trade balance, which also supports CAD.

Higher inflation tends to run central banks to determine interest rates, which attracts greater capital revenues of global investors looking for a lucrative place to maintain money. This increases the demand for the local currency, which in the Canadian case is the Canadian dollar.
Macroeconomic data release the health of the economy and may affect the Canadian dollar. Indicators such as GDP, PMI production and services, surveys on employment and consumer moods can affect the direction of CAD. A powerful economy is good for the Canadian dollar. It not only attracts more foreign investment, but can encourage Bank Canada to set interest rates, which leads to a stronger currency. However, if economic data is faint, the CAD will probably fall.
