GBP/USD bias flipped 31 times to neutral on July 30, 2026
The Bank of England held interest rates at 3.75%, citing uncertainty from the US-Iran conflict and inflation concerns, which weighed on the pound. Meanwhile, the US dollar extended its sell-off after weak US growth data, and a suspected yen intervention contributed to a sharp decline in GBPUSD.
