China retaliated with a 125% tariff after the U.S. raised its own to 145%, with Beijing dismissing the move as "a joke." Meanwhile, U.S. consumer confidence fell to 50.8, accompanied by a sharp rise in both short-term and long-term inflation expectations. In contrast, the UK economy outperformed forecasts with a 0.5% GDP growth in February, helping to offset global uncertainty and boosting the British pound.

Amid this backdrop, trade uncertainty has pushed GBP/USD above the 1.3145 level, creating the potential for a retest of the six-month high reached on April 3 at 1.3200.
