In 2020 forecasts and predictions for the CAD/GBP exchange rate have been driven almost entirely by the Coronavirus pandemic rather than any fundamentals or relative sentiment towards the Canadian and British economies.
Note that forecasts and predictions for the CAD/GBP exchange rate change all the time, affected by news events and relative sentiment towards the Canadian and British economies and this exchange rate is even more volatile than usual because of the uncertainties around the Coronavirus pandemic.
The CAD has enjoyed its highest levels against the USD since March 2020. No other currency pair experienced such a dramatic swing since the election was called. Along with global equities, the CAD continues to increase with increased risk appetite.
