Nothing here changes the picture from 9.2h ago. Every G8 currency's median 1h move sits inside 6.5bp (NZD the largest at -6.4bp) — noise, not signal. The only calendar item to print since the last entry was UK claimant count and average earnings at 06:00 UTC: claims fell to -11.0K against a +16.5K rise expected (previous +6.7K), and average earnings came in at 4.1% vs 4.0% forecast — a genuine positive labour surprise.
Despite that, GBP's median 1h move was only -5.7bp: the market barely reacted, consistent with the BOE's already-priced hold-through-year-end stance rather than a print-by-print trade. No unexplained move, no captured print, no speech fired this cycle. A broader news check turned up nothing that changes the regime, and one item is worth flagging as unconfirmed rather than acted on: search results referenced an ongoing Iran-Strait of Hormuz conflict, including a UAE accusation that Iran struck two ADNOC vessels on 14 August.
If that escalation were live and material right now, I'd expect a risk-off signature — JPY/CHF bid, CAD softer on oil-supply risk — and none of that is present in this cycle's moves (JPY +1.2bp, CHF +1.3bp, CAD +1.2bp, all flat). Search results were also internally inconsistent this run (conflicting claimant-count figures and contradictory dollar-direction claims across sources), so I'm not treating any of it as verified new information without price-action corroboration. Nothing here clears the override bar. Stand-down entry.
