**GBP/USD trades near 1.335 as of September 22, 2026, pressured by widening monetary policy divergence.** The Federal Reserve’s September 16 rate hike to the 3.75–4.00% range, coupled with signals of at least one additional increase this year, has bolstered the dollar, while the Bank of England held Bank Rate at 3.75% and maintains a more cautious stance. Recent data show UK inflation moderating but still sensitive to energy prices, alongside softer growth and fiscal concerns, limiting sterling’s upside. Traders price roughly even odds of a BoE hike by year-end, with the November 5 meeting as the next key catalyst. Broader factors include Middle East energy risks and U.S. data releases that could shift rate expectations. Market-implied odds reflect this hawkish Fed tilt, keeping near-term downside bias intact absent clearer BoE tightening or dollar weakness.
