  • Risk/commodities: Risk sentiment remains neutral, with no significant pressure from risk-off or risk-on signals.
  • Global factors: UK political uncertainty and expectations of BoE rate hikes influence GBP but are not causing sharp moves.

⚠️ What could change it

  • Upside risk: A notable rise in UK rate hike expectations could support GBP strength.
  • Downside risk: A deterioration in risk sentiment or global economic uncertainty could pressure GBP.
