The Pound Sterling has gained against the US Dollar, supported by the Federal Reserve’s dovish stance and a weaker US Dollar. The US Dollar Index has fallen to a new year-to-date low, reflecting market expectations for interest rate cuts.
While the Pound Sterling has shown strength, the Bank of England’s (BoE) recent comments suggest a cautious approach to further interest rate cuts. The BoE remains concerned about inflationary pressures and has emphasized the need for a gradual approach to monetary policy.
