How the CAD price is calculated

Gold trades internationally in US dollars per troy ounce. MarketsGrid converts that price into Canadian dollars at the live USD/CAD interbank rate, cross-checked across two sources (the daily ECB reference rate until it loads), so the CAD price moves with both the metal and the exchange rate. Local dealers quote their own prices, which include premiums, taxes and their own FX rate.

Historical CAD prices on the chart are converted day by day with the reference rate in force on each date, which makes long-run comparisons in CAD meaningful: a rising CAD price can reflect a stronger metal, a weaker Canadian Dollar, or both.
