GBP/USD trades near 1.351 amid consolidation following August highs above 1.367, with the pair sensitive to diverging central bank paths. Hotter-than-expected US PPI data and upcoming CPI releases have reinforced market-implied odds of a Federal Reserve rate hike at the September FOMC meeting, supporting the dollar via firmer Treasury yields and reduced rate-cut expectations. UK GDP prints and Bank of England policy—widely anticipated to hold—provide limited counterbalance, while elevated oil prices from geopolitical tensions add upside risks to US inflation. Trader positioning reflects uncertainty around the 2026 range, with recent 30-day averages near 1.355 and technical support clustered around the nine-day EMA at 1.354. Key near-term catalysts include the September 16 FOMC decision and subsequent UK data releases that could shift the implied rate differential.
