GBP to CAD Rates - 2026 Forecast

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 GBP/CAD pair is likely to decrease as it trades near its recent lows and remains below the 90-day average. The Canadian dollar's strength is influenced by rising oil prices, which could pressure the pound further.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Bank of England is considering interest rate cuts, while the Bank of Canada is unlikely to ease its stance much given the global oil price surge.

• Risk/commodities: Oil is at 90-day highs, significantly above its average, providing support for the CAD as a commodity-linked currency.

• One macro factor: Upcoming forecasts from the Office for Budget Responsibility may reflect higher projections, potentially impacting the GBP positively.

Range:

Expect GBP/CAD to drift within its recent 3-month range, testing the lower end as factors weigh on the pound.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A surprise positive revision in the UK's Spring Statement could bolster the GBP.

• Downside risk: Continued volatility in oil prices could further strengthen the CAD against the GBP.
