GBP/USD trades near 1.359 amid shifting central bank expectations, with the pair's direction hinging primarily on policy divergence between the Bank of England and Federal Reserve. The BoE has held Bank Rate at 3.75% since July, with markets pricing limited tightening until 2027 despite divided MPC votes and UK inflation near 2.6-2.9%. In contrast, the Fed under Chair Kevin Warsh signals potential hikes, with focus on upcoming Jackson Hole remarks, September FOMC projections, and PCE data. Elevated energy prices from Middle East tensions add volatility, while UK fiscal uncertainty and resilient U.S. growth support dollar strength. Traders monitor September 17 BoE and mid-September Fed decisions as key catalysts that could shift implied rate paths and GBP/USD levels through year-end.
