Interview narrative
GBP / USD $1.3423 (+0.04%) vs FTSE 100 £10,360.30 (+0.27%). Moving in near-lockstep — only 0.23 percentage points apart. Both moving the same way is unusual — the inverse FX-equity link is being overridden by a common catalyst, most often a risk-on/off regime shift or a sector-specific story (commodities for FTSE, autos for DAX).
