Canadian Dollar (CAD)
The Canadian dollar sits next to the world's largest economy and depends on it: most Canadian trade crosses one border, so the currency trades as a function of US demand and of the oil price at the same time.

Where the Canadian Dollar circulates
Its most-watched quote is against the US dollar, and for good reason — a Canadian business invoicing in USD carries the exchange rate as a line in its margin rather than as a rounding detail.
- Domestic pricing in Canada, where both English and French formatting conventions appear.
- Cross-border trade with the United States, which dominates Canadian export volumes.
- Energy-linked contracts, since the currency moves with crude prices.
How it is quoted, and what to watch
Canadian formatting differs by province and language: French-Canadian locales place the symbol after the amount and use a comma as the decimal separator. Pass the reader's locale instead of hard-coding one.
Reading CAD from the API
Ask for CAD as the base and every quote in the response is re-expressed against it — the reading, the catalogue and the account balance all arrive together.
Crosses are the quotient of two published quotes, so a pair you need but we do not list is still one division away.

Is CAD a commodity currency too?
Partly. It responds to oil prices, but its strongest driver is US demand, because that is where most Canadian output is sold.
How should I format a Canadian dollar amount?
With Intl.NumberFormat and the reader's locale: en-CA and fr-CA produce different but equally correct output.
