US Session Analysis for CFD Instruments 18/03/2026
Fundamental analysis
18 March, 2026
During European trading, the British pound turned lower against the US Dollar trading below 1.3400 levels.
The GBP/USD lost some upward momentum in the European session, after hitting its highest level in 6 days earlier this morning, as investors remain cautious ahead of the Bank of England interest rate decision on Thursday, with most expecting rates to remain unchanged both this week and in the coming months. In the UK, there are no major data releases today. In the US, the Fed will meet to decide on interest rates (3.75% expected - unchanged) at 18:00 GMT.
