GBP to CAD 2026 Forecasts

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

 

GBP/CAD Outlook: The outlook for GBP/CAD is bullish, as the rate is currently above its recent average and near recent highs.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Bank of England's cautious approach to rate cuts contrasts with the Bank of Canada's recent rate reduction, which has made GBP relatively stronger against CAD.

• Risk/commodities: Recent stability in oil prices, trading significantly above their average, has added pressure on the loonie, hindering its strength despite typical links to commodity performance.

• Global trade dynamics: Ongoing trade tensions, particularly with the U.S., continue to affect the UK's export activity and overall economic outlook.

Range: GBP/CAD is likely to drift within its stable recent range as both currencies react to local economic developments.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A surprising increase in UK economic indicators could strengthen GBP further.

• Downside risk: A fresh wave of tariffs impacting UK exports could pressure GBP and lead to a decline.
