GBP/USD extended its reversal on Tuesday, slipping toward 1.3520 after UK employment figures were mixed and failed to provide support for sterling.
The June unemployment data did not convince investors to step back into the pound, leaving the currency exposed while broader markets remained risk-averse. Middle East tensions added to the cautious tone, supporting the US dollar against the pound.
The combination of soft domestic data and external risk pressure kept GBP/USD near fresh lows in the update.
