USD/CAD: Understanding the "Loonie"
USD/CAD is one of the clearest commodity-currency pairs to track alongside WTI crude oil prices, given how directly Canada's energy exports feed into the loonie.
USD/CAD, where the Canadian dollar is nicknamed the "loonie" after the bird depicted on the one-dollar coin, expresses how many Canadian dollars one US dollar buys. Canada and the US share one of the deepest trade relationships in the world, which anchors the two currencies closely together.
Canada is a major oil exporter, so USD/CAD is strongly correlated with crude oil prices, particularly West Texas Intermediate (WTI), rising oil prices tend to support the Canadian dollar and push USD/CAD lower, while falling oil prices often have the opposite effect.
Monetary policy is set by the Bank of Canada, and its decisions relative to the US Federal Reserve are a key driver of the pair. Because the US and Canadian economies are so intertwined through trade, USD/CAD often shows lower volatility than other major pairs, though oil-price shocks can still move it sharply.

Where rates come fromFrequently asked questions
What does USD/CAD measure?
USD/CAD states how many Canadian dollars you receive for one US dollar. A rate of 1.3600 means one US dollar buys 1.36 Canadian dollars.
Why is the Canadian dollar called the "loonie"?
The nickname comes from the loon, a bird depicted on the Canadian one-dollar coin. The term is now used interchangeably for the currency itself.
Why does oil affect USD/CAD?
Canada is a major exporter of crude oil, so its currency tends to strengthen when oil prices rise and weaken when they fall, making USD/CAD one of the most oil-sensitive major pairs, particularly relative to WTI crude.
Who sets Canadian monetary policy?
The Bank of Canada (BoC) sets the policy rate. Its stance relative to the US Federal Reserve is a primary driver of USD/CAD alongside oil prices.
