  • Global factors: UK geopolitical and economic uncertainties keep the pair's bias within a range.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A shift towards risk-on conditions might push the pair higher if risk sentiment improves.
  • Downside risk: A sudden worsening in risk sentiment could support further gains in GBP/OMR, or lead to declines if the pair weakens.

BER suggests shopping around for the lowest margin provider may help reduce overall transfer costs, especially given the current range-bound conditions.
