Pound Falls Below Key Level as Oil Prices Surge on Trump's Iran Warning

The British pound fell below the psychologically important level of 1.33 against the US dollar as oil prices surged following former President Donald Trump's renewed warnings to Iran.

Trump's comments raised concerns about supply disruptions in the Middle East, a region responsible for a significant portion of global crude output.

The sharp rise in oil prices triggered a shift in investor sentiment, with safe-haven demand driving the US dollar higher against major peers, including the pound.

The GBP/USD pair has been oscillating near the 1.33 handle, but the latest move lower reflects the immediate impact of the Iran-related headlines rather than a shift in UK-specific fundamentals.
