Probability
42%

GBP/USD trades at 1.3390 on July 13, 2026. Andy Burnham is on the verge of appointment as UK Prime Minister – he commands 322 of 403 Labour MPs (as of July 9, 2026), is the sole candidate, and could be formally appointed before July 20. A leadership transition to a pragmatic, popular new PM is often accompanied by a brief GBP rally. Arguments for 1.3500 (+0.8% in 18 days): strong UK services sector, BoE expected to hold at 3.75% (no surprise). Risk: Iran crisis raises UK energy import costs and weighs on the trade balance.

Verdict: Miss
GBP/USD notierte am 31. Juli 2026 bei ca. 1,3484 – knapp unter der Schwelle von 1,3500. Andy Burnham wurde zwar wie vorhergesagt am 20. Juli 2026 britischer Premierminister (Quelle: NBC News, NPR, CNN), doch der erwartete positive Marktimpuls blieb aus: (1) Die Ernennung von John Healey zum Chancellor überraschte Märkte negativ und drückte GBP/USD am 20./21. Juli unter 1,34 (Quelle: FXStreet, exchangerates.org.uk). (2) Burnhams Haushaltsversprechen (Senkung von Business Rates, niedrigere Mehrwertsteuer auf Energie) weckten Finanzierungssorgen. (3) Ein kurzes Rally Mitte Juli (Mitte 1,35) verpuffte schnell wieder. Die Monatsdurchschnittsrate für Juli 2026 lag bei ca. 1,3376 (Quelle: exchangerates.org.uk/x-rates.com). Der Burnham-Effekt war real, aber zu schwach und zu kurzlebig, um die 1,3500-Marke per Monatsende zu halten.
