GBP/USD bias flipped 14 times to bullish on September 30, 2026
The pound has been responding to stronger-than-expected UK GDP and upward revisions to income growth that point to a resilient economy, alongside Bank of England commentary including pushback from a hold voter, with MUFG also citing stronger growth and reverse-Brexit risk. On the US side, softer PCE inflation data reduced bets on further Fed hikes and paused the dollar's rally, with attention also on upcoming JOLTS jobs data.
