    GBP/USD 1.3288

    The British pound is trading close to 14-day lows at around 1.3325 against the US dollar, a slight uptick from recent lows near 1.3288. Despite some domestic support from UK data and expectations of monetary tightening by the Bank of England, ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continue to strengthen the dollar, preventing sterling from gaining more ground. The GBP/USD pair has traded within a narrow range of about 1.3168 to 1.3634 over the past month, indicating cautious market sentiment.

    Looking ahead, investors will be focused on upcoming UK CPI data, which could influence rate expectations and the pound’s outlook. Meanwhile, broader dollar strength driven by geopolitical uncertainties and energy prices remains a key headwind. While some analysts see potential for GBP/USD to rise to around 1.36 by year-end, risks remain due to domestic political challenges and global risk sentiment. For now, the currency remains steady, but traders should stay alert to news that could shift the landscape for sterling.
