Australian Dollar / Canadian Dollar (AUDCAD) market data
AUDCAD is the major pair for Australian Dollar against Canadian Dollar.
About Australian Dollar / Canadian Dollar (AUDCAD)
AUDCAD is the exchange rate of the Australian dollar against the Canadian dollar, quoted as the number of Canadian dollars for one Australian dollar. It is a cross rate with no US dollar leg, and because both economies are commodity linked, the pair often reflects relative moves in resource prices.
SiftingIO builds one consolidated AUDCAD rate from several independent sources. The live quote returns bid and ask with sizes, the mid, a basis-point spread, the venue count, the 24-hour change, and a millisecond timestamp, as a REST snapshot or a WebSocket subscription.
Historical bars are available over REST at one-minute through daily resolution in UTC. The volume on FX bars is always zero, as spot currencies have no consolidated traded tape, though the open, high, low, and close are complete. How far the history reaches depends on your plan tier, a recent window on the free tier and the full record above, per the pricing page.
Updates arrive faster on higher tiers, one to ten per second, and the median publish age stays under 100 milliseconds as a freshness measure rather than an execution speed. Each cross rate is a volume and reputation weighted median across venues, tagged with source, ingest, and publish timestamps and a quality flag.
