Recent monetary policy divergence has weighed on GBP/USD, with the Federal Reserve raising its target range to 3.75-4.00% on September 16 while the Bank of England held at 3.75%, supporting the dollar amid resilient U.S. data and elevated inflation. The pair trades near 1.325 as of September 23, down over 2% in the past month, pressured by UK political uncertainty following leadership transitions, higher-than-expected public borrowing, and softer growth signals. Geopolitical tensions have further bolstered safe-haven demand for the dollar. Traders will monitor the next FOMC and BoE meetings, October PMIs, and U.S. inflation releases for shifts in rate expectations that could influence whether the pair tests key levels before year-end.
