GBP/USD seen falling to 1.26 or below by Q1-2024 – Wells Fargo
|Economists at Wells Fargo expect the British Pound (GBP) to remain under pressure as tough times are still ahead for the UK economy
GBP seen as an underperformer over the medium term
The further 50 bps of rate increase we forecast is less than that currently implied by market pricing, while more broadly we do not view a combination of low growth, high inflation and high interest rates as particularly favorable for the UK currency.
We continue to view the Pound as an underperformer over the medium term. We see the GBP/USD pair falling to 1.26 or below by Q1-2024, and recovering only very modestly to 1.29 by the end of next year.
