AUD to GBP 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent aussie → sterling forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest Australian dollar to British pound performance and trends.

 

The current market bias for the AUD to GBP exchange rate is bearish.

Key drivers include the interest rate differential, where the Bank of England (BoE) is expected to cut rates cautiously while the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) anticipates increases in 2026. This divergence can weaken the AUD against the GBP. Additionally, fluctuations in commodity prices, particularly as the AUD is a commodity currency, directly impact its strength. Finally, the current economic outlook points to slower growth in the UK, which may support the pound if consumer confidence rebounds.

In the near term, the AUD to GBP rate is expected to trade within a stable range, reflecting its recent behavior just above the three-month average.

An upside risk could materialize from unexpected positive economic data from Australia, reinforcing the RBA's rate hike prospects, while a downside risk may arise from deteriorating global risk sentiment, potentially pressuring the AUD lower against the pound.
