The pound held steady at $1.344 as investors awaited Middle East developments amid optimism over a potential US-Iran peace deal and diminishing expectations for Bank of England rate hikes. Investors remain focused on the region, heartened by the recent lack of negative signals from both sides and lingering hopes that an agreement to ease tensions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz remains possible despite recent strikes. Traders have trimmed their bets on BoE rate hikes, now expecting about 40 basis points of tightening by year-end, with a roughly 50% chance of a hike next month. Attention now turns to upcoming BoE policymaker speeches for monetary policy signals and political developments around Prime Minister Keir Starmer following Labour’s regional election setbacks.
