What Moves EUR/CAD

A pair's price is one currency's value measured against another, so the economy behind each side matters.

Euro (EUR)

Eurozone (20 EU countries) · European Central Bank (ECB) · Free float

The Euro is the world's second most traded and held reserve currency, shared by twenty European Union countries with a single monetary policy.

Major contributors to the economy

  • Advanced manufacturing and cars (Germany)
  • Services and finance
  • Tourism
  • Chemicals and pharmaceuticals
  • Agriculture and food

Key factors

  • ECB interest-rate policy. ECB decisions and guidance on rates and bond buying are the main driver of the Euro.
  • Eurozone inflation and growth. Flash inflation figures and business surveys (PMIs) shift rate expectations.
  • Energy prices. Europe imports most of its energy, so high gas and oil prices weigh on the Euro.
  • Political and debt risk. Elections and bond-spread stress in members such as Italy can hurt the currency.

Canadian Dollar (CAD)

Canada · Bank of Canada (BoC) · Free float

The Canadian Dollar (the "loonie") is a commodity currency closely linked to oil prices and to the US economy, Canada's largest trading partner.

Major contributors to the economy

  • Oil and gas
  • Mining
  • Manufacturing and cars
  • Agriculture
  • Financial services

Key factors

  • Oil prices. Canada is a major oil exporter, so rising crude prices usually support the loonie.
  • Bank of Canada policy. Rate decisions relative to the Fed drive USD/CAD.
  • US trade relations. Most Canadian exports go to the US, so tariffs and trade deals matter.

How EUR and CAD Interact

The Canadian Dollar is a commodity currency, so swings in the prices of its main exports often show up in this pair.

Central-bank policy matters on both sides: the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Canada (BoC). When one of them is expected to keep interest rates higher than the other, that currency usually attracts capital and strengthens; a narrowing gap tends to reverse the move.

Markets to Watch

  • German 10-year Bund yield EUR

    Higher yields tend to support the Euro

  • European natural gas prices EUR

    Spikes usually weigh on the Euro

  • WTI crude oil CAD

    Usually rises with the Canadian Dollar

  • EUR ECB monetary policy meetings
  • EUR Eurozone flash CPI
  • EUR German Ifo and ZEW surveys
  • EUR Eurozone PMIs
