GBP/USD Rises Near 1.3400 Despite Stronger US Jobless Claims, Hawkish FOMC

GBP/USD traded higher near the 1.3400 area on Thursday, as the US dollar failed to find support from stronger-than-expected jobless claims data and hawkish signals from the latest FOMC meeting.

GBPUSD

The British pound continued to gain ground against the US dollar on Thursday, with GBP/USD trading near the 1.3400 level. The pair rose despite stronger-than-expected US jobless claims data, which typically supports the greenback.

The US dollar failed to capitalize on the positive claims report or hawkish signals from the latest Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting. This allowed the pound to maintain its upward momentum.

The move highlights ongoing market sensitivity to diverging monetary policy expectations between the Bank of England and the Federal Reserve.
