Canadian Dollar exchange rate today
The Canadian dollar moves with oil and with the United States, which takes about three quarters of Canada's exports. That double link means it often weakens against the euro at the same time as it holds steady against the US dollar.

Frequently asked questions
The rate at the top of this page is the European Central Bank reference fix for the latest working day: how many Canadian dollars one euro buys. Because the ECB quotes everything against the euro, the familiar US dollar to Canadian dollar rate does not appear directly. It is derived by dividing two euro reference rates, which the cross-rate table does for you.
Crude oil is Canada’s largest single export, and Canadian grades trade at a discount to the US benchmark that widens whenever pipeline capacity is tight. A sustained fall in oil prices cuts export earnings and tends to weaken the currency. The link is not mechanical and has broken down for months at a time, but it is strong enough that traders watch crude alongside Bank of Canada decisions.
More than anything else. Around three-quarters of Canadian merchandise exports go to the United States, so Canadian growth, and with it the currency, tracks US demand closely. The practical consequence for a euro-based reader is that a move in the euro against the Canadian dollar is often a move in the euro against the US dollar passing through.
Inflation of 2 percent, the midpoint of a 1 to 3 percent control range, under an agreement with the federal government that is renewed every five years. It announces the policy rate on eight fixed dates a year. Currencies respond to expected rates rather than current ones, so the year-on-year change shown on this page usually reflects how expectations shifted, not the decisions themselves.
