Recent strength in GBP/USD near 1.36 stems primarily from a softer US dollar following the Treasury's expanded longer-dated bond purchases, alongside UK inflation rising to 2.9% in July amid higher energy prices tied to Middle East developments. The Bank of England has held its 3.75% base rate steady with hawkish dissent, while the Fed maintains a 3.50-3.75% range after prior cuts, narrowing the rate differential and supporting sterling. Modest UK GDP growth near 0.7% in recent three-month periods and cooling labor data add nuance, as do lingering political risks. Traders are watching September BoE and FOMC decisions, plus upcoming CPI and employment releases, which could shift implied probabilities on any 2026 threshold test.
