The main things that move the price

Oil

Canada is a big oil seller. Dear oil usually strengthens the Canadian dollar, so USD/CAD often falls with it.

The Bank of Canada

Rate decisions and Canadian inflation are weighed against what the Fed does. The gap matters more than either rate.

US and Canadian jobs

Jobs figures from the two countries often come out on the same day and in the same minute, and the pair can jump either way.

When it is most active

New York hours matter most: figures from both countries come out then, and US oil is trading.
