GBP/USD bias held neutral on September 13, 2026
The GBP/USD is being driven by upcoming central bank meetings in the US and UK, where surging inflation has put interest rate decisions back in focus. Broader FX positioning shifts, highlighted by a CFTC report noting a yen reversal leading a positioning reset, are also influencing the pair. Additionally, UK political risks are present as Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland plan a joint declaration demanding self-determination, while concerns about the UK's economic conditions persist.
