Strategists at ING, including Michiel Tukker and Padhraic Garvey, point out that the British pound remains highly reactive to inflation concerns in the UK. The sensitivity is especially pronounced around short-term fiscal spending plans.
This persistent inflation risk is causing the UK rate curve to stay elevated, as markets price in ongoing monetary policy caution. The impact on sterling is tied directly to how the inflation outlook evolves alongside government fiscal decisions.
