About Тавозуни савдо (CAD)

Canada's trade balance measures the difference between its exports and imports of goods and services over a given period. A positive balance (surplus) means exports exceed imports; a deficit is the reverse.

Why FX traders watch it

Trade surpluses require foreign buyers to acquire cad to pay for Canada exports, creating structural demand for the currency. Large and persistent deficits can create sustained downward pressure on the cad.

How to interpret the data

A widening trade surplus or a narrowing deficit is broadly cad-positive. A deteriorating trade balance—especially driven by weaker export volumes—may signal slowing global demand and can weigh on the cad.
