Recent Federal Reserve tightening has driven the primary pressure on GBP/USD, with the central bank lifting its target range to 3.75-4.00% on September 16 and signaling further adjustments likely amid resilient U.S. activity. Stronger-than-expected September S&P Global PMIs reinforced rate-hike expectations and pushed Treasury yields higher, widening the policy differential against the Bank of England, which held Bank Rate at 3.75% on a 6-3 vote the following day. Sterling has fallen to near three-month lows around 1.322-1.325 amid mixed UK PMIs, elevated energy prices, and fiscal concerns ahead of the autumn budget. Markets now price roughly 100 basis points of BoE hikes over the next year, but near-term resolution hinges on the October 28 FOMC and November 5 BoE decisions, where any further divergence could test lower levels while parity restoration might stabilize the pair.
