GBP/USD bias flipped 15 times to weak bearish on September 15, 2026
The British Pound has weakened toward 1.3500 against the US Dollar as rising US yields and expectations around Federal Reserve policy have put the dollar in command, with an oil shock sending US yields past 5% adding to the pressure. UK employment and jobs data have been described as steady to disappointing, leaving sterling mixed to softer. Attention is on upcoming UK data including CPI, alongside this week's Fed and Bank of England decisions.
