GBP/USD trades near 1.355 amid converging monetary policies, with both the Bank of England and Federal Reserve holding benchmark rates at 3.75%. This erodes the traditional interest-rate differential that has historically driven sterling's moves. Elevated energy prices from Middle East conflict are lifting UK inflation toward 2.9% and supporting expectations of further BoE holds through mid-2027, while stronger U.S. payrolls have raised odds of a Fed hike later this year. Modest UK GDP growth around 1% and fiscal measures to attract investment provide some sterling support, but traders price limited net divergence. Key near-term catalysts include the September 15-16 FOMC and September 17 BoE decisions alongside fresh CPI releases, which could shift implied probabilities on year-end levels.
