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 analyses indicate fluctuating dynamics influencing the USD to GBP exchange rate. The US dollar has been bolstered by safe-haven flows amid heightened risk aversion following significant tariff increases on Indian goods, which has raised caution in global markets. Upcoming data releases, particularly the second estimate for US GDP growth and jobless claims, are expected to further impact the USD's trajectory, with potential volatility anticipated depending on performance relative to expectations.

In contrast, the British pound has shown resilience, recently supported by robust producer price index (PPI) data that points to persistent inflation across the UK. This context bolsters expectations for hawkish interest rate stances from the Bank of England (BoE), even as an upcoming Reuters poll indicates that rate cuts may be on the horizon in November, influenced by ongoing inflation and economic growth trends.

Market sentiment has favored the pound recently, especially following reports of strong business activity in the services sector, marking a significant rebound. However, rising inflation, which hit 3.8% in July, adds complexity to the GBP’s outlook, as it presents mixed signals regarding the BoE's monetary policy decisions.

Over recent weeks, the USD to GBP pairing has stabilized around 0.7405, consistent with its three-month average, and has traded in a relatively narrow range of 4.1% from 0.7275 to 0.7572. Analysts suggest that the interplay between the US dollar's safe-haven appeal and the UK's inflationary pressures will dictate near-term movements in this currency pair. Forward-looking forecasts point towards continued volatility, driven by forthcoming economic data and geopolitical developments.
