British Pound (GBP/USD) news & analysis

GBP/USD is the exchange rate between the British pound and the US dollar, often called "cable" in the market.

What's driving GBP/USD now

UK jobs market data weakened the case for further Bank of England rate hikes, while flat Treasury yields and an upcoming overhaul of the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge left U.S. rate expectations in flux. These contrasting signals for monetary policy in both economies are key drivers of the pound-dollar exchange rate.
