What it measures

How many Canadian dollars one Chinese yuan buys, as a monthly average.

Why it is watched

Exchange rates affect the Canadian-dollar price of imports and the foreign-currency price of Canadian exports.

Economic context

How it connects to the wider economy

Context, not a claim of cause.

A rising line means the Canadian dollar bought less of that currency (the Canadian dollar weakened against it); a falling line means it strengthened. Many factors move exchange rates, including interest-rate gaps, commodity prices and risk sentiment; their relative importance changes over time.

Northline describes relationships as documented mechanisms, statistical associations or hypotheses. Nothing on this page states that a movement in this indicator caused a movement in another.
