GBP to CAD 2025 Forecasts

Analysis of recent sterling → loonie forecasts for 2025. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest British pound to Canadian dollar performance and trends.

 

The recent exchange rate performance of the British pound (GBP) against the Canadian dollar (CAD) has been notable, particularly as the GBP reached a 90-day low near 1.8297, which is 1.1% below its three-month average of 1.8508. This decline is attributed to sustained concerns regarding the UK's fiscal health, exacerbated by lackluster economic data and political uncertainties. Analysts have indicated that the combination of weak manufacturing metrics and policy setbacks is likely to continue to pressure the pound as it struggles for support.

In contrast, the Canadian dollar is benefitting from a recovery in oil prices, which have surged to 72.53, significantly above the three-month average of 67.95. As a major oil exporter, fluctuations in oil prices directly influence CAD's strength, and with current prices reflecting a 31.1% volatility range, any further recovery could bolster the currency's position against the GBP. Recent reports suggest that if oil prices sustain their upward momentum, the CAD could firm further, providing a buffer against external shocks.

Market analysts report that the Bank of Canada’s cautious stance, alongside the aggressive monetary policies of the U.S. Federal Reserve, has contributed to the strength of the USD/CAD pair, nudging CAD lower in relative terms. The interplay between ongoing trade tensions and tariff threats from the U.S. has also injected volatility into the CAD outlook, limiting its potential upside against a weaker GBP.

Looking ahead, currency experts suggest that the GBP/CAD exchange rate will depend heavily on the economic trajectory of the UK and the performance of global commodity prices, particularly oil. The outcomes of upcoming economic data releases in the UK and any developments that might ease trade tensions could shift the dynamics of this currency pair. Investors should remain vigilant, as the GBP’s recovery hinges on a combination of domestic economic health and broader geopolitical factors that may influence market risk sentiment.
