The label did no predictive work at all for CAD.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>USD\/CAD&#8217;s quiet year was not a still year.<\/strong> It travelled a <strong>4.63% range<\/strong> to finish 0.16% from where it began \u2014 about <strong>29 units of movement for every one unit of direction.<\/strong> GBP\/USD was worse at roughly <strong>58\u00d7<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The pairs that looked calm were the least calm.<\/strong> USD\/COP moved 20.42% with a 31.73% range \u2014 a ratio of 1.6\u00d7. Direction and amplitude are separate markets, and only one of them shows up in an annual summary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>A Canadian trading the US Dollar Index is partly trading their own currency.<\/strong> CAD is one of the six components. DXY rose 1.47% while the US dollar <em>fell<\/em> slightly against CAD \u2014 the index&#8217;s gain came from the other five.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VT Markets ranks first for <strong>trading<\/strong> currencies as CFDs with MetaTrader access and fine position sizing.

For CFD trading with tight execution, deep platform support and small position sizes, VT Markets leads this list. For owning real currency balances or for Canadian regulatory recourse, an Interactive Brokers or CIRO-registered account is the better fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"573\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/09\/10-Best-Forex-Brokers-in-Canada-for-2026-1024x573.webp\" alt=\"10 Best Forex Brokers in Canada for 2026\" class=\"wp-image-61044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/09\/10-Best-Forex-Brokers-in-Canada-for-2026-1024x573.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/09\/10-Best-Forex-Brokers-in-Canada-for-2026-300x168.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/09\/10-Best-Forex-Brokers-in-Canada-for-2026-768x430.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/09\/10-Best-Forex-Brokers-in-Canada-for-2026-500x280.webp 500w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/09\/10-Best-Forex-Brokers-in-Canada-for-2026-400x224.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/09\/10-Best-Forex-Brokers-in-Canada-for-2026-350x196.webp 350w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/09\/10-Best-Forex-Brokers-in-Canada-for-2026-200x112.webp 200w, https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2026\/09\/10-Best-Forex-Brokers-in-Canada-for-2026.webp 1250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The 2026 Currency Year, and the Finding That Matters Most for Canadians<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All figures are derived from weekly closes over the twelve months to 2 September 2026 \u2014 54 datapoints per series. <strong>Every range in this article is calculated as (high \u2212 low) \u00f7 low<\/strong>, stated openly because the same range reads several points narrower if you divide by the high instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Two Commodity Currencies, One Commodity Year, Opposite Outcomes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Measure<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>12-month change<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Silver futures<strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>+61.26%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gold futures<\/td><td><strong>+23.80%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>AUD\/USD<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td><strong>+9.62%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>CAD vs USD<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>+0.16%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>US Dollar Index (DXY)<strong><\/strong><\/td><td>+1.47%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This is the article&#8217;s central observation.<\/strong> Gold and silver had one of their strongest years in recent memory. The Australian dollar, conventionally described as geared to metals exports, rose almost ten percent against the US dollar. The Canadian dollar \u2014 described in the same textbooks with the same phrase, &#8220;commodity currency&#8221; \u2014 moved sixteen hundredths of one percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The conventional explanation, presented as convention rather than as proof.<\/strong> The usual account is that the Australian dollar is more sensitive to industrial and precious metals demand, while the Canadian dollar is driven far more by crude oil, by the interest-rate gap with the United States, and above all by trade and policy conditions with a single dominant partner. On that account CAD is best understood as a North American trade currency that happens to export commodities, rather than as a commodity currency in the Australian sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A necessary caution.<\/strong> That is a plausible reading of one twelve-month window, not a demonstrated mechanism. Currency moves are driven by many simultaneous forces \u2014 rate differentials, capital flows, trade policy, positioning \u2014 and no single-factor story explains them. The narrow conclusion is the one worth keeping: <strong>&#8220;commodity currency&#8221; is a description of an economy, not a forecast of a currency.<\/strong> Treating the two as interchangeable was a costly assumption in 2026.

The Mexican peso and the Argentine peso moved a great deal and moved almost in a straight line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The practical consequence is uncomfortable for anyone who selects pairs from a summary table: <strong>the two pairs that look least eventful on a year-end report were the two most likely to have closed a leveraged position.<\/strong> A trend-following approach applied to USD\/CAD in 2026 would have been repeatedly reversed; the same approach on USD\/MXN had a direction to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This also reframes the Canadian dollar&#8217;s non-response above. CAD did not sit still through the commodity year. <strong>It moved 4.63% and came back.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The DXY Point That Only Applies to Canadians<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The US Dollar Index is a weighted basket of six currencies: the <strong>euro, Japanese yen, pound sterling, Canadian dollar, Swedish krona and Swiss franc.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>So a Canadian who buys the DXY is, in part, selling the Canadian dollar.<\/strong> That is not a caveat, it is the structure of the instrument, and it has a measurable consequence this year: <strong>the DXY rose 1.47% while the US dollar fell 0.16% against the Canadian dollar.<\/strong> The index gained despite its CAD component moving against it, because the gain came from the other five constituents \u2014 most heavily the euro, which carries the largest weight and fell 0.98% against the dollar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reminder for a Canadian reader is concrete. If you hold a long DXY position alongside Canadian-dollar income and Canadian assets, you have layered a short-CAD exposure on top of a life already denominated in CAD. That may be exactly what you intend as a hedge. It is worth knowing that you have done it.

Second, leverage magnifies losses as much as gains, and in fast markets losses can exceed your deposit. Third \u2014 the most important point for a Canadian reader \u2014 <strong>no Canadian registration is disclosed for the trading entity, and CIPF coverage does not apply.<\/strong> The regulatory section sets out what that means and how to check it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Interactive Brokers \u2014 Real Currency, and Canadian Registration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The strongest choice if you want to genuinely own currency rather than trade its price. Multi-currency accounts hold real balances you can convert, hold and spend, at institutional conversion rates that are among the lowest available to retail clients \u2014 a material advantage for a Canadian who earns in CAD and invests in USD. It is also a CIRO member, so Canadian recourse applies. Trader Workstation is powerful and genuinely demanding to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. OANDA \u2014 Longest Canadian Track Record<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A long-established presence in the Canadian market with a CIRO-registered entity, straightforward platforms and unusually good historical exchange-rate data \u2014 its rate archives are widely used as a reference. A sensible default for a Canadian who wants FX exposure with domestic regulatory recourse and no complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. FOREX.com \u2014 Research Depth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operates a CIRO-registered Canadian entity with a large pair selection, solid proprietary charting and substantial research and analysis output. Suits a trader who wants domestic regulation together with a steady flow of market commentary. Compare the cost structure to OANDA on the specific pairs you actually trade rather than on headline spreads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. CMC Markets \u2014 Charting and Pair Range<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A CIRO-registered entity, an unusually wide range of currency pairs including many crosses that smaller brokers omit, and a charting package that stands comparison with anything on this list. Worth considering if your interest extends beyond the majors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Questrade \u2014 For Existing Canadian Investors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Best suited to Canadians who already hold shares and ETFs there and want currency exposure without opening a relationship elsewhere. CIRO-registered, with consolidated reporting. Its FX offering is narrower than the specialists above; convenience is the argument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Pepperstone \u2014 Execution Speed<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Built its reputation on execution quality, offering MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader. Relevant when trading around scheduled events, where the gap between intended and filled price matters more than an advertised average spread. Not a CIRO member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. IC Markets \u2014 Raw Spreads at Volume<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Raw-spread pricing with commission, aimed at high-frequency and algorithmic traders, with strong MetaTrader and cTrader support. The structure rewards volume and is less advantageous for occasional trading. Not a CIRO member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Saxo \u2014 Multi-Asset Breadth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investment-bank structure with access to spot FX, FX options and a wide multi-asset range, plus high-quality research. Costs sit above the specialists here, consistent with the breadth. Reasonable if you want currencies alongside other markets in one place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. XM \u2014 Small Accounts and Education<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Low minimum deposits, small position sizes and a large volume of educational material, which makes it a common starting point. Fewer advanced tools than the platforms above, and not a CIRO member. A reminder: an accessible account reduces the barrier to entry, not the market&#8217;s range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What a Currency Position Actually Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Cost<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>What it is<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>When it applies<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Spread<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Gap between buy and sell price<\/td><td>Every position, at entry<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Commission<\/strong><\/td><td>Explicit fee on raw-spread accounts<\/td><td>Entry and exit<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Overnight financing \/ swap<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Interest differential between the two currencies<\/td><td>Each night the position is held<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Conversion<\/strong><\/td><td>Converting CAD into the account currency<\/td><td>On deposit and withdrawal<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Inactivity fee<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/td><td>Charged by some brokers on dormant accounts<\/td><td>After a set idle period<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two points specific to this year&#8217;s data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Overnight financing is the cost that decides whether a range-bound pair is tradable at all.<\/strong> A pair that moves 4.63% and returns to its start offers nothing to a position held passively for twelve months \u2014 but it will have accrued financing every one of those nights. The instrument suits taking positions within the range, not sitting through it.

At fifty times leverage, a 2% adverse move erases your margin \u2014 and a 4.63% range contains several 2% moves. The precaution is arithmetic, not temperament: <strong>size the position from the distance to your stop, not from the maximum leverage available.<\/strong> See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/what-is-cfd-leverage-how-it-works-and-why-its-risky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what CFD leverage is and why it carries risk<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/effective-stop-loss-strategies-for-smarter-risk-management\/\">effective stop-loss strategies<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/atr-for-traders-how-to-set-smarter-stops-targets-position-size\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ATR for traders<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Do Not Choose a Pair From a Net-Change Column<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is the direct application of the range table. A pair listed at &#8220;\u22120.16% over twelve months&#8221; is not a quiet pair; it is a pair whose movement cancelled out. Judge a pair by its range and its behaviour, then decide whether your approach suits trending or reverting conditions.

The 2026 data makes the point: a reasonable forecaster looking at a commodity boom would have expected the Canadian dollar to strengthen materially, and it moved 0.16%. Read forecasts as one input among many, and never as a basis for position size. Nothing in this article is a prediction or a recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch the Two Calendars That Actually Move CAD<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bank of Canada decisions and Canadian inflation releases are the scheduled events most likely to move USD\/CAD, and US releases matter roughly as much because of the trade relationship. Use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/economic-calendar\/\">economic calendar<\/a>, and read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/boc-interest-rates-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bank of Canada interest rates<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/canada-inflation-rate-impact-on-gdp-forex-boc-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canada&#8217;s inflation rate and BoC policy<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/how-to-trade-interest-rate-expectations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to trade interest rate expectations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Regulation: Canadians Can Verify This in Under a Minute<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This section matters more in Canada than in most markets, because a domestic regulated alternative genuinely exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How it works.<\/strong> Securities regulation in Canada is provincial. Firms dealing with residents normally require registration with the relevant provincial commission \u2014 the <strong>Ontario Securities Commission<\/strong>, the <strong>British Columbia Securities Commission<\/strong>, the <strong>Alberta Securities Commission<\/strong> and their counterparts \u2014 plus membership in the <strong>Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO)<\/strong>. Clients of CIRO members are covered by the <strong>Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF)<\/strong> if that member becomes insolvent. <strong>Leveraged FX and CFDs are lawfully offered in Canada<\/strong> by CIRO-registered dealers under provincial exemptive relief. Canadians therefore have real domestic options, which is not true in most markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What that means for the broker ranked first.<\/strong> The trading entity is <strong>VT Markets Limited<\/strong>, a Full-Service Investment Dealer (excluding Underwriting), authorised and regulated by the <strong>Financial Services Commission (FSC) of Mauritius, Licence No. GB23202269<\/strong>. <strong>No Canadian provincial registration or CIRO membership is disclosed.<\/strong> Trading through a firm that is not a CIRO member means <strong>CIPF coverage does not apply<\/strong>, and the complaint and dispute-resolution routes available against a registered Canadian dealer may not be available to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What to do about it.<\/strong> Do not take any article&#8217;s word for a firm&#8217;s status, including this one. <strong>Search the CIRO membership directory and the Canadian Securities Administrators&#8217; National Registration Search for every broker you are considering before depositing.<\/strong> Both are free. Five of the ten brokers above are CIRO members, which is precisely why they are on the list. Also confirm your own eligibility to open an account, which varies by province: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/regulation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">regulation and licensing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On tax, the treatment of currency and derivative gains depends on your circumstances and on whether activity is characterised as capital or business income. A platform statement is a record, not a filing. Confirm current rules with a qualified professional. Nothing here is tax advice or an investment recommendation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Start Trading Forex in Canada<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Decide Whether You Want to Trade or to Hold<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need real currency for a real purpose, a multi-currency account is the instrument. If you want to take a position on a price for days or weeks, a CFD is. This single question eliminates most of the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Learn the Mechanics Before the Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pips, spread, leverage and swap determine your results before any view does. Start with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/what-is-a-pip-in-trading\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what is a pip<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/what-is-forex-spread-and-how-to-calculate-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">what is forex spread<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/the-true-cost-of-a-trade-spread-swap-and-commission\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the true cost of a trade<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/cfd-vs-forex-what-are-the-key-differences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CFDs vs forex<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Practise on a Demo Account Through a Rate Decision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/demo-account\/\">demo account<\/a> costs nothing and shows how spreads widen when it matters. Test it across a Bank of Canada announcement, not a quiet week \u2014 that is when the difference between brokers becomes visible. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/how-to-know-when-youre-ready-to-move-from-demo-to-live\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">how to know when you&#8217;re ready to move from demo to live<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Start With One Pair You Can Explain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For a Canadian, USD\/CAD is the natural first pair because you already follow both economies. One pair understood properly beats eight watched carelessly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Write the Exit Before the Entry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Decide your stop, your target and your maximum loss per position before you open it. In a market that moves 29 units for every unit of direction, a plan formed mid-position is a plan formed under pressure. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/discover\/how-to-find-your-risk-profile-for-cfd-trading-styles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">how to find your risk profile for CFD trading styles<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/tools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trading tools<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forex or Stocks for a Canadian Trader?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currencies trade close to 24 hours across five days, which suits anyone whose available hours sit outside Toronto exchange time \u2014 a real advantage on a continent-wide time zone spread. Currencies also rarely gap the way a single share can on earnings. Against that, an equity market has a long-run upward drift that currency pairs do not: <strong>USD\/CAD&#8217;s fair description for 2026 is &#8220;went nowhere, twice.&#8221;<\/strong> The S&amp;P\/TSX Composite returned +24.24% in the same window. Neither market is better; they reward different things.

The conventional explanation is that CAD tracks crude oil, rate differentials and US trade conditions far more closely than metals. It is a plausible reading of one year, not a proven mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is forex trading legal in Canada?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Leveraged FX and CFDs are lawfully offered by dealers registered with provincial securities commissions and holding CIRO membership. Trading through a firm without Canadian registration is not itself unlawful for you, but CIPF coverage and Canadian dispute-resolution routes will not apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the range-to-direction ratio actually tell me?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It shows how much movement a pair produced per unit of net direction. USD\/CAD travelled a 4.63% range to finish 0.16% lower, roughly 29 to 1. High ratios suggest range-bound conditions where trend-following is repeatedly reversed; low ratios suggest a genuine directional move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which currency pair should a Canadian beginner start with?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many Canadians begin with USD\/CAD because both economies are already familiar and the data calendar is easy to follow. It is liquid and generally tightly priced. Take note that familiarity is not lower risk \u2014 the pair still moved 4.63% during a year it finished flat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gold rose 24% and silver 61%, yet the Canadian dollar barely moved.
