Pound slips to 1.32 per dollar as Starmer resigns; GBP down 1.65% over five days

AI Market Summary
GBP weakened to ~1.32 as PM Starmer's resignation and escalating Labour infighting increased UK political risk premia. The move is amplified by broader USD strength, with DXY above 101, compressing G10 FX broadly but weighing more on sterling given domestic uncertainty. Until leadership clarity emerges, markets may continue to price higher UK risk and maintain defensive GBP positioning versus USD.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced his resignation, deepening divisions within the ruling Labour Party as more than 100 Labour MPs publicly urged him to step down. The pound weakened to 1.32 against the dollar in the session and has fallen 1.65% over the past five trading days. Analysts said political uncertainty, alongside the dollar index moving above 101, has added pressure on sterling. Markets expect the standoff, if prolonged, to keep the pound under downward pressure.
