British Pound Faces BoE Repricing Risk as UK Inflation, Wages and GDP Data Loom

Summary
Sterling enters a data-heavy week with ING warning that UK releases could force markets to reprice the Bank of England’s rate path and test the pound’s recent resilience.
Inflation, wage and GDP figures are the main catalysts because they could shift expectations on the timing and scale of BoE rate cuts.
Services inflation and wage growth may matter more than headline CPI, with stronger readings likely to support the pound by delaying easing bets.
Weak data, by contrast, could revive expectations of earlier cuts, increase volatility in GBP pairs and leave sterling more exposed despite broader influences from dollar strength and risk sentiment.
