The GBP/USD pair remains in a tight range, hovering just below the mid-1.2700s during Friday’s session, as it consolidates its recent three-day rally. This upward movement propelled the pair to its highest level in over three weeks during the previous day. However, traders appear cautious, refraining from placing significant bets ahead of the highly anticipated U.S. Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP) report, which is set to be released later today.
The NFP data, a critical barometer for the U.S. labor market, will be closely analyzed for clues regarding the Federal Reserve's interest rate trajectory. Market participants are eager to see how the data aligns with the Fed’s policy outlook ahead of its December meeting. The report is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping near-term sentiment around the U.S. Dollar (USD) and could provide fresh directional impetus for the GBP/USD pair.
