Three central banks, one quiet week for the pound — and then Friday. The Bank of England (3.75%), Federal Reserve (3.50–3.75%) and ECB (2.25%) have all just held. With no policy meeting and little UK data this week, sterling is taking its lead almost entirely from the US dollar — and everything points to Friday's US non-farm payrolls. https://cambridgecurrencies.com/weekly-currency-forecast-4-august-2026/

The pound fell to around 1.334 against the dollar on Friday after a much stronger-than-expected US jobs report pushed the dollar to a near two-month high. The week ahead is front-loaded with risk, and two events stand out: Wednesday 10 June — US inflation (CPI), a key input to the Federal Reserve's decision the following week Thursday 11 June — the European Central Bank rate decision, which could move GBP/EUR The Fed (17 June) and the Bank of England (18 June) both decide the week after, so markets will spend this week positioning ahead of them. If you have a GBP, EUR or USD transfer to make in June, the timing question matters more than usual. Our latest Week Ahead breaks down what could move rates — and what it means for transfers. #CurrencyExchange #GBPUSD #GBPEUR #ForeignExchange #MoneyTransfer #ECB

The pound has no top-tier data of its own this week. The moves that matter will be made in Frankfurt and Washington — but with the Bank of England speaking three times, London can still surprise on tone. Three threads for the week of 1 June 👇 → Eurozone inflation (Tue) — a firm print likely locks in an ECB rate hike on 11 June. Euro-positive, sterling-negative for GBP/EUR. → US jobs report (Fri) — the week's biggest event. Recent US labour data has softened, so a weak number could lift GBP/USD; a strong one hands it back to the dollar. → No top-tier UK data — but Governor Bailey speaks Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, so watch the BoE's tone. The BoE–ECB rate gap is still 175bp, the widest in the G10 — but it's no longer widening. That change in direction matters more than the size of the gap. For euro buyers funding a property purchase, the days around Tuesday's CPI tend to move the rate more than any year-end forecast. For larger dollar transfers, Friday is the date to watch.

UK inflation just dropped to 2.8%. That is well below the Bank of England's own April projection of 3.1% for Q2. Services inflation fell to 3.2% — the lowest reading since January 2022. And Andrew Bailey speaks on Friday morning into a picture that has shifted under the MPC's feet. If Bailey treats April's softer print as a temporary energy-driven effect, sterling holds its recent strength. If he opens the door to an earlier cut, the pound has further to fall this summer than the market currently expects. → GBP/USD at 1.3434, near the upper end of its three-month range → GBP/EUR at 1.158, within touching distance of its 2026 high → US Core PCE Thursday — the Fed's preferred inflation gauge → Eurozone flash CPI Friday — the binary event for the euro → RBNZ rate decision Wednesday — only G10 central bank decision this week Monday is a UK Bank Holiday and US Memorial Day. The week opens quiet on Tuesday and accelerates fast. If you have a sterling transfer planned, this is a week where the data calendar matters more than the headline noise. #PoundSterling #GBPUSD #GBPEUR #CurrencyForecast #ExchangeRates #InternationalTransfer #BankOfEngland #UKInflation #CorePCE #FX

This is the week UK politics overtook UK data as the dominant driver of sterling. GBP/USD shed close to 2% last week as the Makerfield by-election made a Labour leadership challenge feel live for the first time. Gilt yields have widened against Bunds in lockstep. The data calendar isn't quiet either: • Tuesday — UK jobs data • Wednesday — UK April CPI (07:00 BST) and FOMC Minutes (19:00 BST) • Thursday — flash PMIs across the UK, Eurozone and US • Friday — UK retail sales April's Fed meeting produced an 8-4 vote — the most divided since 1992 — with three dissenters pushing to remove the easing bias before incoming Chair Kevin Warsh takes over in June. For anyone with a sterling-funded transfer this week — Eurozone property, USD invoices, repatriating foreign income — the structuring question matters more than the timing question. A 50/50 spot-and-forward split takes the binary risk out of weeks like this. #FX #Sterling #UKEconomy #CurrencyMarkets

Three central banks held rates last week. Not one of them looked happy doing it. The Fed split 8-4 — its widest dissent in over 30 years. The BoE's Chief Economist voted to hike, not cut. Lagarde said the ECB "debated at length" a rate rise. The common thread? Oil. Brent touched $114 before settling near $108 as the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively shut. For sterling, this has translated into the strongest GBP/EUR levels of 2026 (~1.16) and a 2.6% gain against the dollar in April. The week ahead's binary risk is Friday's US Non-Farm Payrolls. A hot wages print resets the dollar narrative; a soft one doesn't. Full pair-by-pair breakdown and week-ahead calendar in this week's forecast. #FX #CurrencyMarkets #GBPUSD #EURUSD #FederalReserve
