GBP/USD weighed by rising Gilt yields overnight - Scotiabank

update 2025.01.08 22:28

The Pound Sterling (GBP) plunged more than a cent in response to the Trump tariff headlines, leaving it the worst-performing major currency on the session, Scotiabank's Chief FX Strategist Shaun Osborne notes.

GBP/USD slumps on tariff report

"Losses are steadying in the mid/upper 1.23s but scope for recovery may remain limited in the short run. The GBP's tone was already a little soft, reflecting building market concerns about rising domestic yields. Cable losses extended to a new, short-term cycle low at 1.2325 earlier. Spot is within reach of the 1.2300 major low reached in April last year."

"Spot losses are stabilizing around 1.2350, close to last week's low, but new lows and broadly bearish trend momentum suggest the GBP's soft tone is liable to extend moving forward and likely means potential for near-term rebounds is very limited. Resistance is likely to be firm around 1.2450/75 now."
