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: Slightly positive, but likely to move sideways, as the rate trades above its recent average but lacks a clear driver.

Key drivers:

  • Rate gap: The Bank of England's decision to hold interest rates steady indicates a more dovish stance, while the People's Bank of China's actions aim to stimulate the economy, creating tension between the two currencies.
  • Risk/commodities: Oil prices remain above average, supporting the yuan's stability as China is a major oil importer, influencing its currency value.
  • One macro factor: Recent political uncertainties in the UK concerning Prime Minister Keir Starmer have added pressure to the pound, hindering its potential for significant upward movement.

Range: GBP/CNY is likely to drift within its narrow three-month range as pressures and data keep the movements moderate.

What could change it:

  • Upside risk: Greater political stability in the UK could bolster GBP confidence and strengthen its position.
  • Downside risk: Continued pressure on UK political leadership could lead to further weakening of the pound against the yuan.
