# UBS - British pound faces dollar dominance amid inflation and BoE rate cut

> UBS says the British pound remains under pressure despite stronger-than-expected UK inflation and the Bank of England's 25 basis point cut to 4.75% on November 7. Sterling's brief gain above $1.27 was erased as broader dollar strength dominated the GBP/USD pair.
