# Pound-to-Dollar Weekly Forecast: Analysts Remain Bullish on Sterling

> GBP/USD retreated from seven-week highs near 1.3500 to around 1.3350 after stronger US jobs data and a technology-stock selloff supported the dollar. UBS forecasts the pair rising to 1.41 by mid-2027, while Rabobank expects it near 1.30 over the next year; the Bank of England rate hike provided some support to sterling.

## Why it matters

The competing forecasts reflect differing expectations for UK fundamentals, interest rates, and dollar strength, leaving the currency outlook uncertain. The reported rate and risk-appetite shifts affect exchange rates rather than agricultural supply or demand.
