GBP/USD trades near 1.3520, down 0.3% in the past day after breaching 1.3500 support, as April 2026 U.S. CPI surged to 3.8% year-over-year—the highest since May 2023—fueled by energy spikes from Middle East tensions, reinforcing Federal Reserve pauses at the 3.50%-3.75% fed funds range. The Bank of England held Bank Rate at 3.75% in late April amid UK CPI easing slightly to 3.3% for March, keeping policy differentials narrow and limiting sterling upside. Trader consensus prices modest GBP/USD gains toward 1.40 by year-end if U.K. growth outpaces the U.S., but hotter U.S. inflation sustains dollar strength. Watch U.K. April CPI on May 20 and June 16-17 FOMC for divergence signals.
