What is USDCAD?
USDCAD is a major forex pair that measures the value of the US dollar against the Canadian dollar. Its price is influenced by economic conditions in the United States and Canada, interest rate expectations, and movements in oil prices, which can have a significant impact on the Canadian dollar. When you're learning how to trade USDCAD, watch these three things:
Oil prices
Canada is a major oil exporter. When crude prices move sharply, demand for the Canadian dollar usually shifts with them.
Economic data
Employment, inflation, GDP, and retail sales numbers from the US and Canada can move the pair.
Central bank policy
Rate decisions from the Federal Reserve and the Bank of Canada can shape where USDCAD goes next.
