# British Pound: Resilience sustained but bar higher – OCBC

> OCBC strategists expect sterling resilience to extend into early 2027, citing fiscal discipline, an OBR upgrade of UK 2026 growth to 1.2%, and greater political stability. They revised their EUR/GBP forecast to reflect continued pound strength against the euro. They also noted that aggressive BoE tightening is already priced in, so further gains depend on positive UK data surprises.

## Why it matters

A stronger pound against the euro and dollar makes euro-zone and US feed ingredients slightly more expensive for UK buyers, a modest bearish signal for UK import demand. The effect on global feed prices is limited.
