From a fundamental perspective, the British Pound concludes the week on a positive note, exhibiting significant gains against various G7 currencies. The Bank of England’s expectations of approximately 100 basis points of additional interest rate hikes in 2023, compared to other major central banks, provide further support for the Pound.
