The last four decades of the Canadian Dollar
Over the past 35 years, the Canadian Dollar (CAD) has traded within a range of 0.62 to 1.06 against the US Dollar (USD). It reached its weakest point in 2002, when it was worth just 62% of the USD, and its strongest levels in 2007 and 2011, when it peaked at 106% of the USD.
Economic shocks have often triggered sharp declines in the CAD's value, most notably during the 2008 financial crisis, when it lost more than 20% against the USD. Over the last decade, the CAD has fluctuated between 0.68 and 0.83, placing it in the bottom quartile of its 35-year trading range.
In 2025, fueled by dedollarization trends, the CAD strengthened by approximately 7% against the USD. Looking ahead, the combination of dedollarization and anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts increases the probability that the Canadian Dollar will continue to appreciate. If these factors persist, the CAD could move toward the 0.80 level in the coming years, narrowing its gap against historical mid-range values.
