GBP feeling the heat on service inflation sticky wicket

Watching $GBPUSD closely today. That -0.30% move to 0.81345 is telling, especially with service inflation staying stubbornly high in the UK. Seems like the market's pricing in a longer, higher rate path from the BoE, or at least a slower pivot than some hoped. Makes me cautious on anything with significant UK exposure on my watchlist; the domestic consumer discretionary plays might take a bigger hit if this translates to tighter credit for longer. Not seeing a clear catalyst for a strong rebound just yet. Still, it's holding above the 0.810 support for now, so not a full breakdown... yet.

I'm seeing similar patterns and agree with your take on the BoE. The sticky service inflation is definitely a tough spot for them, and it makes sense that the market would bake in a higher-for-longer scenario, particularly affecting domestic-facing UK businesses.
