"GBP/USD Forecasted to Reach 1.3500 in 2024"
In a recent note, the global FX head at Goldman Sachs has indicated that GBP/USD is poised to extend its upward momentum to reach 1.3500 in the coming year. Citing correlations with stocks and alleviated concerns about global recession, GBP exhibits a "positive and reliable relationship with higher stock prices."
The recent strength of the British pound is attributed, in part, to the broad weakening of the U.S. dollar. However, since early November, the pound has also demonstrated strength based on trade-weighted fundamentals, performing exceptionally well in a moderately volatile interest rate environment and amid rising stock prices. The outlook since November has been promising, and expectations are for further gains in the upcoming year. This is why Goldman Sachs believes that the British pound has considerable room for appreciation as the market embraces the 'soft landing' perspective.
Upcoming elections are likely to encourage additional fiscal support while easing trade tensions with the EU. Both factors are expected to contribute to domestic growth, mitigating the risk of a recession and bolstering the British pound.
As we anticipate the unfolding of 2024, the projections for GBP/USD remain optimistic, driven by a combination of global economic dynamics, domestic factors, and a supportive political landscape. Investors and traders alike will be closely watching these developments as they navigate the foreign exchange market in the coming year.
