Higher gas prices will cause the USD/CAD exchange rate to drop because the U.S. consumes a lot of gas from Canada which they must pay for by converting the USD to CAD thus increasing demand for CAD and making it stronger. When the USD/CAD rate drops, it will cost less CAD to buy one USD, in other words the CAD has strengthened over the USD.

Higher natural gas prices can influence USD/CAD, mainly through Canada’s role as a major energy exporter.

How higher natural gas prices affect USD/CAD

✅ 1. Higher gas prices usually strengthen the Canadian dollar (CAD)

Canada exports large amounts of natural gas.

When global gas prices rise:

Canada earns more from its energy exports.

Foreign buyers need more CAD to purchase Canadian gas.

Demand for CAD increases.

Result:

➡️ CAD tends to appreciate

➡️ USD/CAD tends to fall (because CAD gets stronger relative to USD)

✅ 2. Higher gas prices can improve Canada’s trade balance

If Canada sells gas at higher prices, it brings in more revenue.

Better trade balance → stronger CAD

This pushes USD/CAD downward
