Powell further stated that the US economy is facing a \u201cchallenging situation,\u201d with inflation risks now tilted to the upside and employment risks to the downside.

The\u00a0BoE cut the interest\u00a0rates from 4.25% to 4.0% earlier this month as the UK central bank resumed what it describes as a \u201cgradual and careful\u201d approach to\u00a0monetary easing. A quarter-point cut is not fully priced in until March 2026. In the absence of top-tier UK economic data releases this week, the USD dynamic could drive the major pair&#8217;s action in the short term.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-module\">\n<div id=\"content-module-faq-Forex-gbp-500\" data-type=\"faq\" data-module=\"faq\" data-config-topic=\"gbp\" data-config-category=\"Forex\" data-version=\"v1\" data-content-module-translate=\"0\">\n<div class=\"fxs-faq-module-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"fxs-faq-module-title\">Pound Sterling FAQs<\/h2>\n<div class=\"fxs-faq-module-container\">\n                <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"content-module-faq-Forex-gbp-500accordion0\" checked=\"checked\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">The Pound Sterling (GBP) is the oldest currency in the world (886 AD) and the official currency of the United Kingdom. It is the fourth most traded unit for foreign exchange (FX) in the world, accounting for 12% of all transactions, averaging $630 billion a day, according to 2022 data.<br \/>\nIts key trading pairs are GBP\/USD, also known as \u2018Cable\u2019, which accounts for 11% of FX, GBP\/JPY, or the \u2018Dragon\u2019 as it is known by traders (3%), and EUR\/GBP (2%). The Pound Sterling is issued by the Bank of England (BoE).<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>                <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"content-module-faq-Forex-gbp-500accordion1\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">The single most important factor influencing the value of the Pound Sterling is monetary policy decided by the Bank of England. The BoE bases its decisions on whether it has achieved its primary goal of \u201cprice stability\u201d \u2013 a steady inflation rate of around 2%. Its primary tool for achieving this is the adjustment of interest rates.<br \/>\nWhen inflation is too high, the BoE will try to rein it in by raising interest rates, making it more expensive for people and businesses to access credit. This is generally positive for GBP, as higher interest rates make the UK a more attractive place for global investors to park their money.<br \/>\nWhen inflation falls too low it is a sign economic growth is slowing. In this scenario, the BoE will consider lowering interest rates to cheapen credit so businesses will borrow more to invest in growth-generating projects.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>                <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"content-module-faq-Forex-gbp-500accordion2\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">Data releases gauge the health of the economy and can impact the value of the Pound Sterling. Indicators such as GDP, Manufacturing and Services PMIs, and employment can all influence the direction of the GBP.<br \/>\nA strong economy is good for Sterling. Not only does it attract more foreign investment but it may encourage the BoE to put up interest rates, which will directly strengthen GBP. Otherwise, if economic data is weak, the Pound Sterling is likely to fall.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>                <input type=\"checkbox\" id=\"content-module-faq-Forex-gbp-500accordion3\"\/><\/p>\n<section class=\"fxs-faq-module-section\">\n<p class=\"fxs-faq-module-content\">Another significant data release for the Pound Sterling is the Trade Balance. This indicator measures the difference between what a country earns from its exports and what it spends on imports over a given period.<br \/>\nIf a country produces highly sought-after exports, its currency will benefit purely from the extra demand created from foreign buyers seeking to purchase these goods. Therefore, a positive net Trade Balance strengthens a currency and vice versa for a negative balance.<\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GBP\/USD weakens to near 1.3495 in Monday\u2019s Asian session.\u00a0 The Fed\u2019s Powell opened the door to resuming interest rate cuts.\u00a0 Hot UK July inflation data diminish the odds of BoE rate reductions this year.
