GBP/USD dollar weakness lifted the pair to a six-month high, driven by falling U.S. Treasury yields rather than any real strength in the pound.
Fiona Cincotta, StoneX Senior Market Analyst, breaks down what is moving the pair and why the Jackson Hole Symposium matters for it.
The U.S. Dollar slipped after the Treasury Department announced plans to at least double its purchases of longer dated government bonds, pulling yields lower. Oil prices advanced on Middle East supply disruption, keeping inflation concerns alive as U.S. national debt hit a fresh milestone. UK data stayed mixed, leaving Bank of England expectations as only a secondary support for Sterling.
