The GBP/USD pair remains under pressure, hovering near the 1.2200 level, its lowest since November 2023. Persistent concerns about the UK’s economic outlook and a stronger US dollar are driving the pair’s downward momentum.
Market participants are increasingly cautious as mixed signals from the UK’s economy weigh on the pound. The US dollar’s resilience is supported by the Federal Reserve’s hawkish tone and a robust labor market, further dampening the pound’s appeal. Analysts suggest that traders are closely monitoring upcoming economic data from both countries, which could set the tone for the pair’s next move.
