GBP to USD 2025 Forecasts

Analysis of recent sterling → dollar forecasts for 2025. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest British pound to US dollar performance and trends.

 

The British pound (GBP) recently found support following the Bank of England's (BoE) decision to maintain interest rates, influencing market sentiment positively. Analysts note that GBP gained traction as Governor Andrew Bailey indicated a cautious stance regarding future rate cuts, which alleviated some short-term bearish pressures. However, upcoming UK retail sales data, with expectations of a contraction in growth, may pose a risk to the pound’s stability.

On the other hand, the US dollar (USD) received a boost from a hawkish Federal Reserve decision that emphasized the necessity of maintaining stable interest rates in light of increasing inflation pressures. Despite a temporary pullback due to geopolitical concerns surrounding potential U.S. involvement in conflicts, the USD remains robust, buoyed by its safe-haven status amid global uncertainties.

Recent price data shows GBP/USD trading at 1.3480, which is 1.5% above its three-month average and within a stable range of 1.2725 to 1.3613. Currency market experts highlight that the pound's trajectory will largely depend on domestic economic indicators and ongoing geopolitical tensions that could sway risk sentiment. Meanwhile, forecasters suggest that the dollar's strength will persist, driven by its status as the dominant global currency and the Fed’s ongoing commitment to maintaining policy stability.

Overall, observers indicate that both currencies are subject to volatile market conditions, influenced by internal economic data and external geopolitical factors. Future movements in the GBP/USD pair will hinge on the unfolding economic and political landscape in both the UK and the US, making ongoing analysis crucial for individuals and businesses engaged in international transactions.
