This downturn occurs as the UK government faces a gilt selloff, adding to the currency’s woes. Despite a slight recovery in the last hour, GBP/USD remains firmly in negative territory. Traders should closely follow developments as they could impact future movements of the British pound. Additionally, market sentiment will be critical in determining the currency’s performance in the coming weeks.
