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 recent performance of the GBP to USD exchange rate has been influenced by several key factors, leading experts to present a mixed outlook for the near term. The British Pound (GBP) faced significant pressure following concerns regarding the upcoming autumn budget led by Chancellor Rachel Reeves. Analysts warn that over-emphasis on political optics could lead to ‘unnecessary economic damage’, and the upcoming labor market report is expected to spotlight further weaknesses, potentially driving the GBP lower if data reflect continued cooling.

Conversely, recent political instability in France and Japan briefly bolstered GBP strength against the Euro and yen. However, this positive momentum has not fully translated to gains against the USD, as broader economic concerns linger. Following a previous selloff, sterling managed a modest rebound to around $1.3496, but caution remains prevalent among analysts as weaknesses in the UK labor market and budget deficit continue to produce uncertainty.

The US Dollar (USD) has also been reacting to external pressures, particularly concerning the ongoing US-China trade relations and the potential impacts of Federal Reserve monetary policy. Volatility has marked the USD as jitters around tariff negotiations heighten uncertainty. Analysts anticipate insights from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s upcoming speech, which could hint at future interest rate trajectories, directly influencing the dollar's strength. A hawkish tone from Powell could bolster the USD and influence market expectations moving forward.

Currently, the GBP to USD exchange rate stands at approximately 1.3330, slightly below its three-month average of 1.3452. This indicates a stable trading range, having fluctuated between 1.3206 and 1.3646 over recent months. The market's outlook will continue to be shaped by upcoming labor statistics from the UK and inflation data from the US, which could steer the future direction for the GBP/USD pair in the coming weeks.
