Welcome to 2025

2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year so let us take a quick look at the bigger picture…

Pound Sterling had a great year in 2024.

It actually spent much of the year as the best performing major currency.

The Pound ended up gaining over 5% against the Australian, New Zealand and Canadian Dollars in 2024.

It also gained 5% against the Swiss Franc and 7% against the Japanese Yen.

Against the Euro, the Pound also managed a respectable 4% gain.

It only lost ground against the US Dollar – which rocketed in the final quarter of the year, due in part to the US election result.

We see central banks being very active again in 2025.

The rate cutting cycle remains the key driver of currencies.

The Bank of England has some work to do. The UK has the highest interest rates of all the major central banks – so there could be pressure to cut more aggressively – which would be Pound negative.

Trump’s tariffs could be another big theme of 2025. Trade friction has the potential to drive up global inflation.

Given we had plenty of currency moves of between 5-10% in 2024, it’s a reminder of how important timing can be.
