# Pound Sterling Price News and Forecast: GBP/USD flatlines as US jobs strength, election risks loom

> The pound held near 1.3420 against the dollar on Tuesday, up about 0.1%, as traders awaited the US midterm election results. A stronger-than-expected US JOLTS jobs report and weaker factory data were cited as trimming the pound's early losses. Traders also looked ahead to the Bank of England rate decision and US September jobs data later in the week.

## Why it matters

Feed buyers import in dollars and sterling-linked contracts can shift with the dollar, so a firmer dollar on election and jobs risk can raise the local-currency cost of imported feed ingredients. The move is small and routine, with no new shock to grain or protein supply.
