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.

 

Recent analysis indicates that the GBP/USD exchange rate has seen some recovery, currently trading at 1.3668, which is 2.1% above its three-month average of 1.3383. This uptick follows a period of volatility primarily influenced by both domestic and international factors.

On the GBP side, the pound regained some strength as UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer endorsed Chancellor Rachel Reeves, alleviating concerns over potential leadership changes that could destabilize the currency. A better-than-expected final services PMI also contributed to recent gains, although analysts expect GBP movements to remain muted due to a lack of significant UK data releases.

Conversely, the USD strengthened significantly following the release of favorable US jobs data, with non-farm payroll growth surpassing forecasts. The US unemployment rate also decreased, backed by a robust ISM services PMI, reinforcing the attractiveness of the dollar. Market participants have noted that the upcoming US holiday could result in subdued movement for the dollar in the short term.

The ongoing economic policies and geopolitical developments remain crucial for both currencies. The GBP's performance continues to be swayed by domestic economic indicators and political stability, particularly post-Brexit dynamics, while the dollar’s strength is intricately linked to Federal Reserve interest rate policies and its status as a safe-haven currency in turbulent times.

Current trading suggests the GBP/USD pair is responding to a multi-faceted landscape. The pound's relationship with major trading partners and the overall health of the UK economy will dictate its trajectory in the near term. Likewise, experts caution that the dollar will respond to economic indicators and geopolitical events that can significantly drive capital flows towards safe-haven assets. As financial analysts closely monitor these developments, readers should remain informed about global market trends, which could influence their currency transaction strategies moving forward.
