British Pound Sterling

The British Pound Sterling (GBP) is the world's oldest currency still in use, with origins in Anglo-Saxon England where 240 silver pennies (sterlings) weighed one pound. The pound was decimalised in 1971, divided into 100 pence. Monetary policy is managed by the Bank of England, founded in 1694. The GBP is the fourth most traded currency in global foreign exchange markets and remains the third largest reserve currency despite the UK's departure from the European Union in 2020.

Canadian Dollar

The Canadian Dollar (CAD) is the official currency of Canada and the sixth most traded currency in global foreign exchange markets. Often called the "loonie" after the loon bird on its one-dollar coin, the CAD is closely correlated with commodity prices — particularly oil, as Canada is one of the world's largest oil exporters. The Bank of Canada manages monetary policy independently of the US Federal Reserve, though the close trade relationship between Canada and the United States means the CAD/USD rate is one of the most watched currency pairs.
