The GBP/USD pair slid to its lowest level in 14 months as investors shifted their attention to the upcoming U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report. The pair dipped below 1.2150 during Thursday’s trading session, reflecting ongoing pressure from a strong U.S. dollar and cautious sentiment ahead of key economic data.

The dollar’s strength continues to be underpinned by robust U.S. economic indicators and the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance, which has driven bond yields higher. Meanwhile, the British pound faces additional headwinds from softening economic growth in the UK and concerns about prolonged inflationary pressures. Market participants are closely monitoring the NFP data for insights into the strength of the U.S. labor market, which could further shape expectations around Fed policy.

Analysts suggest that a strong jobs report could solidify the case for higher-for-longer U.S. interest rates, placing additional downward pressure on the GBP/USD pair. Conversely, weaker-than-expected data might provide the pound with a short-term reprieve. Until then, the pair is likely to remain under selling pressure, reflecting the broader divergence between the UK and U.S. economic outlooks.
