USD to GBP 2025 Forecasts

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

 

Recent currency market updates highlight a bearish outlook for the US dollar (USD) against the British pound (GBP). Analysts have observed a decline in the USD as improving market sentiment has reduced its appeal as a safe-haven asset. The most recent data on jobless claims came in higher than expected, indicating persistent slack in the US labor market, which may further weigh on the dollar. As the USD trades near 7-day lows at approximately 0.7433, it operates within a stable range of 0.7275 to 0.7590 over the past three months, reflecting a lack of decisive moves.

In contrast, the GBP has experienced a rally, influenced significantly by recent monetary policy decisions from the Bank of England (BoE). The narrow vote to cut interest rates by 25 basis points, coupled with an upward revision to inflation forecasts, has boosted the pound's performance. Analysts suggest that the GBP may continue to receive support from this policy shift, especially as it stands resilient amidst uncertainties surrounding economic data.

Market experts indicate that while the USD's future relies heavily on Federal Reserve policies and broader economic performance, the GBP's value is more directly impacted by domestic indicators and political developments post-Brexit. As the UK seeks to establish its economic footing in a post-pandemic landscape, investor confidence and BoE decisions will play crucial roles in determining the pound's trajectory.

Overall, the interplay between US economic data and UK monetary policy is likely to maintain volatility in the USD/GBP exchange rate, emphasizing the importance of monitoring shifts in global risk sentiment and domestic economic indicators going forward.
