GBP to CNY 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent sterling → yuan forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest British pound to Chinese yuan performance and trends.

 

GBP/CNY Outlook: The outlook for GBP/CNY is likely to increase as it trades at 90-day highs and is well above its recent average, supported by a clear influence from global trends.

Key drivers:

• Rate gap: The Bank of England's anticipated rate cuts contrast with the People's Bank of China's (PBOC) efforts to stabilize the yuan, leading to a competitive environment for the GBP.

• Risk/commodities: Recent strength in oil prices has boosted the yuan, positively affecting China's export competitiveness and supporting demand for the CNY.

• One macro factor: China’s recent economic growth momentum has exceeded expectations, alleviating concerns over the impact of global trade tensions on the yuan.

Range: GBP/CNY is likely to test the upper end of its recent range while remaining volatile.

What could change it:

• Upside risk: A significant tightening of UK labor market conditions might bolster the GBP against the CNY.

• Downside risk: Heightened geopolitical tensions or new US tariffs could weigh on the GBP, pulling it lower versus the CNY.
