About Canadian Dollar (CAD)
The Canadian Dollar (CAD) is the official currency of Canada and the sixth-most-held reserve currency.

- •Roughly 75% of Canadian exports go to the United States
- •Bank of Canada (BoC) sets the overnight rate and targets 2% CPI inflation

About South Korean Won (KRW)
The South Korean Won (KRW) is the official currency of South Korea, managed by the Bank of Korea. KRW reflects one of Asia's most export-oriented, technology-driven economies — semiconductor cycles (Samsung, SK Hynix) and global risk appetite are the dominant drivers.
- •South Korea is the world's 10th-largest economy by nominal GDP
- •Bank of Korea targets 2% CPI inflation
- •KRW is not deliverable offshore — trades mainly through NDF (non-deliverable forward) markets

Frequently Asked Questions
When is CAD/KRW most liquid?
Liquidity is deepest during the Tokyo and Hong Kong sessions (00:00–08:00 UTC) when KRW markets are open. Spreads widen noticeably during the New York afternoon and Asian public holidays.
What is a typical daily range for CAD/KRW?
Daily ranges vary with volatility regimes. Majors like EUR/USD typically move 0.5–1.2% on quiet days and 2–3% on data-release days. Check the 30-day chart above for a sense of the current range.
What economic events move CAD/KRW the most?
The biggest scheduled catalysts are BoC rate decisions, Canadian employment data, and WTI crude movements and Bank of Korea decisions and Korean semiconductor export data. Geopolitical headlines and global risk sentiment also produce meaningful moves, especially when one currency is a safe-haven and the other is risk-sensitive.
Is it cheaper to convert CAD to KRW at a bank or online?
Online money-transfer services (Wise, Revolut, Remitly, InstaRem) typically offer rates much closer to the mid-market CAD/KRW than traditional banks. Always compare the total delivered amount, not just the advertised "fee" — many providers embed their margin in the exchange rate itself.
Does the CAD/KRW rate change on weekends?
The interbank forex market closes from Friday 21:00 UTC until Sunday 21:00 UTC, so mid-market CAD/KRW rates don't update during that window. Retail broker spreads often widen at Sunday open as Asian desks reopen, so the first few hours of the new week can carry wider execution costs.
