A year of buying CAD
Over the last 364 days CAD closed between $0.7009 (October 5, 2026) and $0.8045 (November 1, 2025). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $100 today; at the high, $87. The current price $0.7020 is above 6 of those 364 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 2% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves CAD by 0.4%: a $1,000 position swings about $4 a day.
