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 GBP to CAD exchange rate has recently come under pressure, reflecting a divergence in fiscal and monetary outlooks between the UK and Canada. As of now, the GBP is trading near 30-day lows at approximately 1.8509, which is 0.7% below its 3-month average of 1.8643. Over this period, the currency pair has demonstrated stability within a range of 1.8297 to 1.8882, indicating a relatively narrow trading environment.

Recent critical developments have led to a bearish sentiment for the British pound. Analysts have identified mounting worries regarding the UK fiscal situation ahead of the forthcoming autumn budget. The Office for Budget Responsibility's anticipated downgrades to productivity projections have intensified fears of impending tax hikes, which may pressure the GBP further. This backdrop has prompted a cautious outlook from market participants, suggesting that without significant positive economic news, the pound may continue to weaken.

Contrasting this, the Canadian dollar has shown mixed performance influenced by its strong ties to oil prices. Although the CAD firmed amid geopolitical tensions and expectations for future oil price increases, recent oil price data indicates volatility. Currently, oil prices are around 64.40 USD, approximately 3.1% below the 3-month average. This decline has impacted the CAD, as it is traditionally correlated with commodity prices.

The Bank of Canada’s recent rate cut to 2.5% highlights concerns within the Canadian economy, though the loonie has stabilized following speculation around potential rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Still, trade uncertainties, particularly concerning negotiations with the U.S., have added pressure on the loonie and may affect future performance.

Looking ahead, with the upcoming UK budget likely to influence GBP trajectory severely, and ongoing fluctuations in oil prices expected to impact CAD strength, market observers will need to monitor these developments closely. Given the current economic environment, forecasts suggest that the GBP could face further challenges against the CAD in the near term unless significant corrective measures are introduced by UK policymakers or a rebound in oil prices occurs.
