GBP/USD historic rates & change to 05-Jan-2026

GBP/USD remains range-bound as the BoE plans rate cuts to 3.25% by mid-2026, while cautious Fed cuts may support the USD. Slower UK growth and fiscal concerns weigh on the pound. Analysts suggest stronger UK data may shift sentiment, but a firmer dollar could push rates lower
