GBP to USD Market Data
British pound (GBP) to US dollar (USD) market data - latest interbank exchange rate, trend, chart & historic rates.
GBP/USD sits near the top of a 3-month range with a bullish-to-range-bound bias. BoE remains cautious on rate cuts; the Fed is easing toward neutral, so a softer USD supports GBP. The pair may drift around current levels unless data surprises.
Bias
GBP/USD is above the 90-day average and sits in the upper half of the three-month range, giving a bullish-to-range-bound stance.
Key drivers
- Rate gap: BoE remains cautious with rate cuts later in the year, while the Fed is seen easing toward neutral; the modest gap helps the pound hold ground.
- Risk appetite: Global risk mood and dollar moves can shift the pair; a firmer dollar tends to weigh on GBP, while a softer dollar supports it.
- Macro: Upcoming US payrolls and unemployment data will shape Fed easing bets and the dollar’s direction.
Range
The pair has traded in a narrow band over the last three months and sits near the upper end, so it is likely to drift around current levels unless new data surprises.
What could change it
- Upside risk: stronger UK data or a more hawkish BoE stance could lift GBP.
- Downside risk: firmer US data or a louder Fed tilt toward higher rates could lift the dollar and press GBP/USD lower
