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 exchange rate between the British Pound (GBP) and the Canadian Dollar (CAD) has shown notable movements recently influenced by various economic factors. Currently, GBP against CAD is trading at 1.8727, just 0.8% above its three-month average of 1.8586, reflecting a relatively stable range of 1.8297 to 1.8823. This stability in the exchange rate occurs amidst various economic developments affecting both currencies.

Analysts have expressed concerns regarding the UK's fiscal health as plans emerge related to the autumn budget. With the Chancellor addressing budget commitments, there is a growing risk premium associated with the GBP. The Pound's resilience has been recently supported by reports of a slight rise against the US dollar, attributed to market caution regarding a U.S. government shutdown which impacts global economic sentiment. However, UK economic data indicates stagnation, particularly with a widening current account deficit and slowing real wage growth, which may limit any significant upward momentum for the GBP.

On the Canadian side, the loonie has faced downward pressure due to a drop in oil prices, which typically correlate closely with CAD’s performance as Canada's economy is heavily reliant on oil exports. The recent decline in oil prices to $60.48 per barrel marks a drop of 2.1%, attributed to oversupply concerns ahead of an OPEC meeting. This drop has led the CAD to a 4.5-month low against the U.S. dollar. Forecasts suggest that if the anticipated U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cuts materialize, there may be potential for a CAD appreciation, estimated at around 2.8% over the next three months as the U.S. dollar weakens.

The broader dynamics of the CAD are shaped by ongoing challenges in the manufacturing sector, where a recent contraction has heightened expectations for potential interest rate cuts from the Bank of Canada. The uncertainty around renegotiating trade agreements like the USMCA also looms as a factor that could pressure the loonie.

With ongoing volatility in oil prices, currently subject to significant fluctuations of 14.3% ranging from $64.20 to $73.37, any further declines could lead to added depreciation for the CAD, affecting its exchange rate with the GBP. The future trajectory of the GBP to CAD exchange rate will consequently depend on evolving economic data, oil price trends, and central bank policy responses. This backdrop underscores the importance for individuals and businesses involved in international transactions to remain attuned to these developments to optimize their currency exchange strategies.
