Market Update : GBP – May 12, 2026, 2:33 pm
GBP – English
- Sterling faces a bearish macro setup as the UK political crisis deepens. More than 60 Labour MPs want Keir Starmer out, close to the threshold for a formal challenge, while Andy Burnham is seen as a possible successor.
- Markets are already pricing political and fiscal risk. Gilt yields are rising as the pound falls, a classic stress signal similar to the Liz Truss era. Burnham’s view that fiscal rules are too restrictive points to higher borrowing and stronger inflation pressure.
- That risk is amplified by elevated oil prices linked to US-Iran tensions. UK bank shares are also selling off, reinforcing wider concern over domestic stability. Forecast stays negative for GBP as politics, borrowing fears, and inflation risk undermine confidence.
