Global exchange rate outlook Q1 2025

Exchange rates have a critical impact on the cost structure of the resource industry. To improve clarity on the macroeconomic forecasts that underpin our commodity analysis, Wood Mackenzie publishes regular updates and forecasts on the currencies that impact the markets we look at. We forecast bilateral exchange rates by assessing fundamental drivers, including interest rate differentials, relative economic growth rates, productivity of the tradable goods sector, and the current account balance.
