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 shown some resilience despite mixed economic signals. Currently, GBP stands at 1.8768, which is 1.1% higher than its three-month average of 1.8568. Over the past few months, it has traded within a stable range of 1.8297 to 1.8814.

The British pound (GBP) has been influenced by the latest labour market data, which indicated a slowing jobs market but did not significantly alter expectations for a hold on interest rates by the Bank of England (BoE). Analysts suggest that the upcoming consumer price index data and the BoE's policy meeting could further impact the pound's trajectory. Notable forecasts from HSBC and Deutsche Bank project that the BoE may hold rates steady until at least 2026, a position that has stabilized GBP against the weaker US dollar. However, concerns over the UK's fiscal discipline, as evidenced by rising long-term borrowing costs, could play a role in future fluctuations.

On the Canadian side, the CAD has faced uncertainty, primarily influenced by mixed economic factors and expectations of a potential interest rate cut by the Bank of Canada (BoC). Observers note that bearish sentiment on the CAD has reached a five-month high, with increasing short positions reflecting concerns over the economy. Although recent upticks in oil prices have temporarily supported the CAD, weaker-than-expected employment data and declining bond yields are weighing heavily on investor sentiment. A Reuters poll anticipates that the CAD could strengthen over the coming months, given expectations that the BoC may be nearing the end of its rate cutting cycle.

Oil prices, trading at approximately $67.95 per barrel, are crucial for the CAD's performance. Currently, oil prices are 1.0% below their three-month average and have seen significant volatility, ranging from $65.50 to $78.85. Given Canada’s status as a major oil exporter, fluctuations in this market will continue to impact the loonie.

In summary, while the GBP appears to be bolstered by stable rate expectations amid mixed UK economic signals, the CAD's outlook is clouded by bearish sentiment and economic uncertainty. The interplay between oil prices and interest rate decisions will remain pivotal for both currencies, shaping the GBP to CAD exchange rate in the weeks to come.
