The exchange rate forecast for the AED to GBP is influenced by recent developments and market sentiments surrounding the British pound (GBP). Following the announcement of a 10% tariff on UK imports by U.S. President Donald Trump, the GBP experienced volatility as it adjusted to the implications of this measure. Despite the setback from the tariff, the pound rallied following a Bank of England (BoE) interest rate cut, indicating that markets are reassessing the likelihood of further rate reductions. Previously expected cuts have now been dialed back slightly, which may support the GBP against other currencies, including the dirham.
