GBP/USD bias flipped 17 times to weak bullish on September 11, 2026
The British Pound strengthened after strong UK monthly GDP data, lifting GBP/USD to a two-week high as markets reassessed the Bank of England's stance, with the central bank expected to hold rates amid aggressive market pricing. Meanwhile, hot US PPI data put a potential Fed hike in play, and the pair flattened near 1.3500 ahead of US CPI.
