The British Pound (GBP) has edged higher against the US Dollar (USD) ahead of the highly anticipated August jobs report. In an early Asian trading session on Friday, the GBP/USD pair reached around 1.3530.

Bank of England (BoE) Chief Economist Huw Pill's hawkish remarks on Thursday may have contributed to the Pound's strength. Pill emphasized that raising interest rates now would help reduce inflation pressure and prevent more aggressive rate hikes in the future.

The US August employment report, scheduled for release later on Friday, is expected to provide valuable insights into the labor market and its potential impact on the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions.
