GBP/USD vs S&P 500

Latest data from 2026-05-11

GBPUSD
British Pound / US Dollar
1.3601
+0.33%
PAST
Cable gained 45 pips to 1.3601, supported by broad dollar weakness and solid UK services PMI data last week.
WHY
BoE rate path divergence from the Fed is widening — UK inflation persistence keeps the BoE on hold while Fed signals cuts. Sterling benefits.
WATCH
UK employment data Wednesday 09:00 TRT. Rising wages would reinforce BoE hawkishness and push cable toward 1.3700.
US500
S&P 500
7,398.9
+0.84%
PAST
S&P closed at 7,398.9, within 3 points of its all-time high. Tech and semis led the charge as AI capex optimism overrode Iran headlines.
WHY
The market is pricing peak earnings growth — AI spending is accelerating faster than even bulls expected. Breadth is narrowing though, which historically precedes corrections.
WATCH
Intraday ATH test at 7,401.5 is imminent. Clean break targets 7,500. CPI miss Tuesday could trigger the breakout; hot CPI kills it.
