GBP/USD is struggling to build fresh bullish momentum as the broader dollar complex firms on renewed Fed rate-hike chatter. Warsh's comments reinforce a 'higher-for-longer' narrative that historically strengthens the greenback against sterling during periods of policy uncertainty.
Technically, the pair's inability to extend gains reflects this macro backdrop—buyers remain cautious until there's clearer signal on whether the Fed truly shifts toward tightening or maintains its current stance. This hesitation mirrors the broader indecision seen across USD crosses amid the yen carry unwind.
A confirmed hawkish Fed pivot could tip GBP/USD toward a corrective phase, while any dovish walk-back would likely reignite the pair's recovery attempts.
