GBP to AUD 2026 Forecasts

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

 

Bias: range-bound, current GBP/AUD is below the 90-day average and in the lower half of the 3-month range, implying only a limited near-term drift.

Key drivers:

  • Rate gap: BoE signals a slower pace of rate cuts this year while the RBA remains open to hikes, narrowing the policy gap and skewing FX moves toward the Australian side.
  • Risk/commodities: Oil and broader commodity demand stay volatile, a dynamic that tends to lift the AUD when demand improves and pressure the pound otherwise.
  • Macro factor: China inflation dynamics and its recovery path influence Australian exports and long-run demand for the AUD.

Range: GBP/AUD is likely to drift within the 3-month range, with a mild tilt toward the lower end as traders await fresh UK and Australian data.

What could change it:

  • Upside risk: BoE cues a slower pace of cuts or hints at higher policy rates than currently anticipated.
  • Downside risk: stronger Australian data or a clearer RBA tightening stance lifting the AUD and weighing on the pound.
