The pound’s recent strong rally has slowed, with traders looking for direction in a quiet week for UK economic data. Sterling is down 0.2% against the dollar, trading around $1.311, after losing over 1% in the past five days. 

The dollar is near a two-week high ahead of key US data, including manufacturing PMI and Friday’s jobs report. These figures will influence whether the US Federal Reserve cuts rates by 25 or 50 basis points in September.
