GBP/USD traded around 1.3245 in early Asian hours Wednesday, extending losses after falling below the 1.3250 handle. The move reflects growing caution over UK political developments, particularly the potential leadership of Andy Burnham and questions about adherence to existing fiscal rules.
Market participants are also repricing expectations for the Bank of England's policy path, adding to the downward pressure on sterling. The pair remains sensitive to further political headlines and any shifts in BoE rate bets.
