The British pound strengthened past $1.35, its highest in three months, benefiting from a weaker US dollar as markets anticipate at least two Federal Reserve rate cuts next year, reducing the dollar’s yield advantage. The Bank of England cut rates by 25 basis points to 3.75% in December, in a narrow 5-4 vote reflecting ongoing inflation concerns. Although inflation eased to 3.2% in November, it remains well above the Bank’s 2% target. Governor Andrew Bailey said rates are likely to trend lower, but not as quickly as markets might hope. UK GDP grew 0.1% in the third quarter, in line with expectations, though the BoE forecasts flat growth in the final quarter. Even so, traders expect at least one further rate cut in the first half of next year. Sterling has gained over 2% this month and roughly 8% year-to-date, positioning it for its strongest annual performance against the dollar since 2017.

News Stream Sterling Breaks $1.35 Level The British pound strengthened past $1.35, its highest in three months, benefiting from a weaker US dollar as markets anticipate at least two Federal Reserve rate cuts next year, reducing the dollar’s yield advantage. The Bank of England cut rates by 25 basis points to 3.75% in December, in a narrow 5-4 vote reflecting ongoing inflation concerns. Although inflation eased to 3.2% in November, it remains well above the Bank’s 2% target. Governor Andrew Bailey said rates are likely to trend lower, but not as quickly as markets might hope. UK GDP grew 0.1% in the third quarter, in line with expectations, though the BoE forecasts flat growth in the final quarter. Even so, traders expect at least one further rate cut in the first half of next year. Sterling has gained over 2% this month and roughly 8% year-to-date, positioning it for its strongest annual performance against the dollar since 2017. 2025-12-23 Sterling Rises to 11-Week High The British pound strengthened to around $1.345, its highest in 11 weeks, benefiting from a weaker US dollar, as markets expect the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates at least twice next year, reducing the dollar’s yield advantage. The Bank of England delivered a widely expected 25-basis-point rate cut to 3.75% in December, with a narrow 5-4 vote underscoring persistent concerns about inflation. Although inflation eased to 3.2% in November, it remains well above the Bank’s 2% target. Governor Andrew Bailey said rates are likely to trend lower, but not as quickly as markets might hope. UK GDP grew 0.1% in the third quarter, in line with expectations, though the BoE forecasts flat growth in the final quarter. Even so, traders expect at least one further rate cut in the first half of next year. Sterling has risen over 1% this month and about 7% year-to-date. 2025-12-22 British Pound Strengthens After BoE The British pound strengthened to $1.34, approaching again two-month highs, as traders digest the latest monetary policy decision from the Bank of England. The central bank lowered the bank rate by 25bps as expected, but policymakers remained divided and hinted there was limited space for more easing. The vote split was 5–4, with Governor Andrew Bailey backing a cut this time. Policymakers reiterated their guidance for a “gradual” pace of further easing. Markets are now pricing in about 62 points of easing from the central bank by the end of next year, compared to about 66 points before the decision. The rate cut, which followed pauses in September and November, comes amid easing inflation and growing signs of economic strain. UK annual inflation slowed to 3.2% in November, its lowest level in eight months and below the BoE’s 3.4% forecast. Meanwhile, GDP contracted for a second consecutive month in October, and private-sector wage growth continued to moderate. 2025-12-18 Related UK 10-Year Gilt Yield Falls to Over 3-Week Low FTSE 100 Rebounds on Tuesday Sterling Breaks $1.35 Level UK GDP Annual Growth Rate Unrevised at 1.3% UK Business Investment Defies Initial Estimates UK Q3 GDP Growth Confirmed at 0.1% UK Q3 Current Account Gap Smallest in Nearly 3 Years UK Retail Sales Fall to 6-Month Low: CBI UK Public Borrowing Narrows in November UK Retail Sales Fall for 2nd Month Latest Silver Surges After Profit-Taking Run Chinese Yuan Appreciates Past 7 per USD DXY Edges Up Slightly US Stocks Remain Muted After FOMC Minutes US 10-Year Treasury Yield Pulls Back after Fed Minutes Fed Likely to Reduce Rates Next Year: FOMC Minutes Uruguay Trade Gap Narrows Sharply Paraguay Inflation Hits 22-Month Low Brazil Net Payrolls Rise In November Brazilian Real Rebounds After Labor Data
