Recent hawkish signals from Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh at Jackson Hole, combined with escalating U.S.-Iran tensions that lifted oil prices above $92, have strengthened expectations for a September FOMC rate hike, widening implied policy divergence and bolstering the dollar. GBP/USD has eased to around 1.35, roughly 1% below its late-August peak near 1.367, as safe-haven flows and higher U.S. Treasury yields outweigh British 10-year gilt yields that reached their highest since 2008. Markets price limited BoE tightening by year-end despite inflation above target, while softer U.K. labor data and fiscal uncertainty ahead of the October budget weigh on sterling. Key near-term catalysts include U.S. nonfarm payrolls and the sequential FOMC-BoE decisions on September 16-17.
