#dollar forecast

The pound posted its strongest week in over a month — but will GBP/USD keep rising? Our weekly currency forecast (14–18 April 2026) breaks down what’s driving markets right now and where exchange rates could move next. Key themes this week: • GBP/USD pushing toward 1.35 after 2% rally • GBP/EUR rangebound as BoE and ECB both turn cautious • EUR/USD supported by broad dollar weakness • Iran ceasefire talks and oil prices driving volatility • Bank of England expectations shifting toward potential hikes Forecast ranges: GBP/USD: 1.3300–1.3550 GBP/EUR: 1.1400–1.1550 EUR/USD: 1.1600–1.1800 With currency pairs moving 1–2% per week, timing matters — especially for property purchases, business payments and large transfers.

The dollar is still holding firm — but the reaction to last week’s data tells a different story. A strong US jobs report would normally push the market higher. This time, the move has been far more measured. That shift matters. It suggests much of the “higher for longer” narrative is already priced in, and markets are starting to move into a more balanced phase. At the same time, rising oil prices linked to tensions in the Middle East are adding another layer of pressure — particularly through inflation expectations. For anyone planning a transfer, this is not a market defined by big moves. It’s a market of short windows. GBP/EUR remains range-bound around the mid-1.14s GBP/USD is reacting, but not trending USD strength is still there — just less aggressive In this type of environment, timing tends to matter more than trying to call direction. If you’ve got an upcoming transfer, it’s worth understanding where the opportunities are appearing — even small moves can make a huge difference on larger amounts. We’ve broken it all down in this week’s forecast:

Will the dollar rate increase this week? All four major central banks held rates last week — Fed, BoE, ECB and SNB all on hold. The Iran conflict is now in its fourth week, Brent crude is above $108, and Iraq has declared force majeure at its foreign-operated oilfields. This week is the busiest for data since the conflict began: • Tuesday — UK, Eurozone and US PMIs (all high impact) • Wednesday 07:00 — UK CPI • Wednesday 08:45 — ECB President Lagarde speaks • Thursday — US jobless claims + five Fed speakers • Friday — UK Retail Sales Current rates (as of 20 March): GBP/USD — 1.3341 GBP/EUR — 1.1580 EUR/USD — 1.1572 DXY — 99.65 The Wednesday window is the one to watch — UK CPI at 07:00 followed by Lagarde at 08:45 means both sides of GBP/EUR could move sharply within two hours of each other.

Currency Markets Brace for ‘Super Week’ as Oil Prices Rise US inflation data, China trade figures and UK GDP are all due before a rare central bank “Super Week” where the Federal Reserve, Bank of England, ECB, Bank of Japan and Bank of Canada all announce policy decisions within 48 hours. The US Dollar Index (DXY) has been recovering recently and is now approaching a key resistance area near 100. What happens next could depend heavily on Wednesday’s US CPI data. If inflation comes in lower than expected, the dollar could weaken again as markets price earlier rate cuts. If inflation surprises to the upside, the dollar may continue its recovery. For businesses and individuals planning large international transfers, weeks like this can move exchange rates quickly. Even a 1% change can make a meaningful difference on larger payments. We’ve published our full weekly currency forecast covering the outlook for the US dollar, pound and euro.

Weekly Currency Forecast The US dollar begins the week under pressure, with markets focused on the Federal Reserve’s message rather than the rate decision itself. Our base case for the week ahead: Short-term USD rebounds are possible Sustained strength looks unlikely unless the Fed signals a firmer policy path USD/JPY volatility and headline risk remain key swing factors With several major US data releases delayed, this is shaping up as a Fed-driven week, where timing and execution matter as much as direction — particularly for larger international transfers.
