enclaves just as us dollars are accepted by some canadian businesses 30 in 2012 iceland considered adopting the canadian dollar as a stable alternative to the icelandic króna 31 32 canada was favoured due to its northern geography and similar resource based economy in addition to its relative economic stability 33 34 the canadian ambassador to iceland said that iceland could adopt the currency although iceland ultimately decided not to implement the proposal 35 value edit the cost of one united states dollar in canadian dollars from 1990 the cost of one euro in canadian dollars from 1999 since around 76 7 of canada s exports go to the us and 53 3 of imports into canada come from the us 36 canadians are interested in the value of their currency mainly against the us dollar although domestic concerns arise when the dollar trades much lower than its us counterpart there is also concern among exporters when the dollar appreciates quickly a rise in the value of the dollar increases the price of canadian exports to the us on the other hand there are advantages to a rising dollar in that it is cheaper for canadian industries to purchase foreign material and businesses the bank of canada has no target value for the canadian dollar and has not intervened in foreign exchange markets since 1998 37 the bank s official position is that market conditions should determine the worth of the canadian dollar although it occasionally makes minor attempts to influence its value citation needed on world markets the canadian dollar historically tended to move in tandem with the us dollar 38 an apparently rising canadian dollar against the us dollar was decreasing against other international currencies however during the rise of the canadian dollar between 2002 and 2013 it gained value against the us dollar as well as other international currencies in recent years dramatic fluctuations in the value of the canadian dollar have tended to correlate with shifts in oil prices reflecting the canadian dollar s status as a petrocurrency owing to canada s significant oil exports 39 the canadian dollar traded at a record high of us 2 78 in terms of the american greenbacks on july 11 1864 since the latter was inconvertible paper currency 40 however the canadian dollar remained close to par or 1 1 versus the gold or silver us dollar of the time unlike other currencies in the bretton woods system whose values were fixed the canadian dollar was allowed to float from 1950 to 1962 between 1952 and 1960 the canadian dollar traded at a slight premium over the us dollar reaching a high of us 1 0614 on august 20 1957 40 the canadian dollar fell considerably after 1960 and this contributed to prime minister john diefenbaker s defeat in the 1963 election the canadian dollar returned to a fixed exchange rate regime in 1962 when its value was set at us 0 925 where it remained until 1970 40 as an inflation fighting measure the canadian dollar was allowed to float in 1970 its value appreciated and it was worth more than the us dollar for part of the 1970s the high point was on april 25 1974 when it reached us 1 0443 41 the canadian dollar fell in value against its american counterpart during the technological boom of the 1990s that was centred in the united states and was traded for as little as us 0 6179 on january 21 2002 which was an all time low 42 since then its value against all major currencies rose until 2013 due in part to high prices for commodities especially oil that canada exports 43 the canadian dollar s value against the us dollar rose sharply in 2007 because of the continued strength of the canadian economy and the us currency s weakness on world markets during trading on september 20 2007 it met the us dollar at parity for the first time since november 25 1976 44 inflation in the value of the canadian dollar has been fairly low since the 1990s in 2007 the canadian dollar rebounded soaring 23 in value 40 on september 28 2007 the canadian dollar closed above the us dollar for the first time in 30 years at us 1 0052 45 on november 7 2007 it hit us 1 1024 during trading a modern day high 46 after china announced it would diversify its us 1 43 trillion foreign exchange reserve away from the us dollar by november 30 however the canadian dollar was once again at par with the us dollar and on december 4 the dollar had retreated back to us 0 98 through a cut in interest rates made by the bank of canada due to concerns about exports to the united states due to its soaring value and new record highs at the time the canadian dollar was named the canadian newsmaker of the year for 2007 by the canadian edition of time magazine 47 since the late 2000s the canadian dollar has been valued at levels comparable to the years before its swift rise in 2007 for most of the 2010s the exchange rate of canadian to us dollars was approximately us 0 70 to can 1 00 48 reserve currency edit most traded currencies by value
