  "account": "Scotiabank strategists Shaun Osborne and Eric Theoret suggest the British Pound (GBP) against the US Dollar (USD) is modestly weaker but backed by expectations of additional tightening from the Bank of England (BoE) by the end of the year. As no significant data is forthcoming before Friday's trade and industrial production releases, markets anticipate incremental interest rate hikes in November and December. They identify an optimistic medium-term trend for GBP/USD, yet note its current confinement to a range of 1.3500-1.3600 as traders monitor fiscal risks leading up to the Autumn Statement. Similar to the euro and the European Central Bank (ECB), a supportive outlook for the pound exists due to expectations of tightening central bank policies by year-end. The BoE's meeting on September 17 provides limited information, but short-term rate markets are pricing in 16 basis points of tightening for November 5th and nearly 30 basis points for December 17th. Despite limited political developments, the team continues to caution about sentiment-driven fluctuations due to fiscal risks surrounding the Autumn Statement, scheduled for late October. The medium-term trend remains bullish, characterized by a sequence of higher lows and higher highs since late June. The medium-term trend for GBP/USD is bullish, with a clear sequence of higher lows and higher highs since late June. Analysts anticipate a near-term range-bound movement between 1.3500 and 1.3600.",
