GBP/USD Hits Three-Week Lows Amidst Renewed Fiscal Concerns
The Pound to Dollar exchange rate (GBP/USD) hit three-week lows near 1.3300, weighed down by renewed UK fiscal concerns and higher energy prices.
Goldman Sachs predicts that GBP/USD will retreat to at least 1.3250, citing the recent strength of Sterling as an overcorrection.
However, Scotiabank remains bullish on the Pound, forecasting gains to 1.37 by year-end, attributing the positive outlook to Prime Minister Burnham's appointment of Healey as Chancellor and his commitment to fiscal discipline.
