GBP/USD bias flipped 17 times to neutral on September 14, 2026
The British Pound has weakened to near 1.3500 and tested an August low as rising US yields and Fed hike bets put the Fed in command, with an oil-driven dollar rally also weighing on sterling. The pair is now consolidating above 1.3500 ahead of this week's UK data and Fed and Bank of England decisions, with BoE risks in focus.
