GBP/USD news for September 25, 2026
The pound has slipped toward its lowest since late June near 1.3200 as higher US yields have fueled a broad US dollar rally. The move reflects Fed-BoE policy divergence, with a hawkish Fed and stronger US PMI contrasting with doubts over BoE tightening prospects, slower UK growth and a looming energy crisis. A pause in the dollar has offered brief relief, though inflation risks remain in focus for the pair.
