Pound Sterling clings to gains against US Dollar while Fed monitors tariff-impact on inflation
Wednesday, 25 June 2025 18:52 WIB | GBP/USD |Poundsterling

The Pound Sterling (GBP) holds onto gains near a fresh three-year high around 1.3650 against the US Dollar (USD) during European trading hours on Wednesday. The GBP/USD pair strengthens as the US Dollar continues to underperform its peers, as its safe-haven demand has diminished significantly after the announcement of a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on Tuesday.

During the European trading session, the US Dollar Index (DXY), which tracks the Greenback's value against six major currencies, struggles to hold the weekly low around 98.00.

On Tuesday, United States (US) President Donald Trump announced that a truce between Israel and Iran has become effective and urged them not to violate it. "The ceasefire is now in effect. Please do not violate it!" Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social.

Meanwhile, the support for maintaining interest rates at their current levels by Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell in his semi-annual testimony before the US House Financial Services Committee on Tuesday has failed to uplift the US Dollar.
