Why Trade?
EUR/CAD is a currency pair that shows how many Canadian dollars (CAD) are needed to buy one euro (EUR). For example, if the EUR/CAD rate is 1.50, one euro is worth 1.50 Canadian dollars, so buying EUR 1,000 would cost CAD 1,500.
The euro is the common currency of the eurozone, and its monetary policy is set by the European Central Bank (ECB). The Canadian dollar is the currency of Canada, where monetary policy is set by the Bank of Canada (BoC). Canada is a major exporter of oil and other commodities, so the Canadian dollar is often sensitive to commodity prices.
EUR/CAD is a cross-currency pair, which means it does not include the US dollar. The exchange rate is affected by factors such as ECB and BoC interest rate decisions, inflation and growth data, oil prices and trade relations between Canada and the EU.
The euro was introduced on 1 January 1999, and EUR/CAD has been traded since then. Before the euro, the Canadian dollar was traded against the national currencies of the eurozone countries. The Canadian dollar has had a floating exchange rate since 1970.
Over the years, EUR/CAD has moved through wide swings. The pair has been affected by events such as the 2008 global financial crisis, the eurozone debt crisis that began in 2010 and the sharp fall in oil prices that began in mid-2014, which weighed on the Canadian dollar.
Trade ties between the two economies deepened when the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) between Canada and the EU was provisionally applied on 21 September 2017. Central bank policy, commodity prices and economic data continue to drive EUR/CAD. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.
Traders follow EUR/CAD because it pairs the euro with a commodity-linked currency. Interest rate decisions by the ECB and the Bank of Canada, economic data releases and changes in oil prices can move the pair. These price movements can create trading opportunities, but they can also lead to losses, especially when trading with leverage.
EUR/CAD can be traded as a CFD (contract for difference), which lets you speculate on price movements in either direction without owning the underlying currencies. CFDs are leveraged products and carry a high level of risk.
Other currency pairs that traders may consider include EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY and AUD/USD. The choice of currency pair depends on factors such as liquidity, volatility and each trader's strategy and risk tolerance. It's important to research any currency pair carefully and understand the risks before trading.
