What Moves the CAD/GBP Exchange Rate?
The CAD to GBP rate reflects the relative strength of two different economies, so it responds to developments on both sides of the pair.
Canadian Dollar (CAD): Crude oil prices, Bank of Canada policy, trade with the United States, and broader commodity demand.
British Pound (GBP): Bank of England rate decisions, UK inflation and wage growth, the strength of the London financial sector, and post-Brexit trade developments.
When demand for the Canadian Dollar rises relative to the British Pound, the CAD/GBP rate increases, meaning each CAD buys more GBP. The opposite happens when the British Pound strengthens.
