GBP/USD edges up in Asia but geopolitical concerns limit gains

Sterling found dip buyers against a softer dollar during Asian trading Friday, breaking a two-day slide, though geopolitical risk kept the rebound contained.

GBPUSD

The pound attracted buying interest against the US dollar in Friday’s Asian session, halting a two-day decline that had taken GBP/USD to its low for the week. The move was supported by a softer dollar tone.

However, upside momentum remained limited. Market participants were reluctant to push the pair higher as geopolitical tensions continued to weigh on sentiment, preventing a stronger follow-through rally.

GBP/USD therefore remains in a cautious recovery, with near-term direction likely to depend on whether broader risk conditions stabilize.
