Cable was steady at 1.3464 even as gilts slumped on political risk tied to a reported Burnham leadership challenge to Starmer.

UK fiscal and political jitters are capping sterling despite a broadly soft dollar, leaving the pair range-bound.

1.3400 support and 1.3550 resistance frame the range; gilt headlines are the near-term swing factor.

Silver firmed 0.4% to $75.31, edging higher but still roughly a third below its cycle peak.

Silver lags gold's central-bank bid; it needs industrial and AI-hardware demand to close the gap with the yellow metal.

$74 support and $78 resistance bracket the move; a gold breakout would likely drag silver with it.
