Why Gross Domestic Product (GDP) matters for CAD
GDP is a primary driver of central bank rate decisions—strong growth raises the probability of tighter monetary policy, which tends to support the cad. Divergences in growth between two economies are a core foundation of FX fundamental analysis.
How to read it
A print above consensus suggests the Canada economy is expanding faster than expected, which is broadly positive for the cad. A miss can fuel rate-cut expectations and weaken the currency. Revisions to prior quarters can be as market-moving as the headline release.

- Annualised vs year-over-year reporting conventions
- Composition: consumption, capex, net exports, inventory
- Revisions to prior quarters, which often outweigh the new print
