POUND CRASHES AGAINST THE DOLLAR AS KING ADMITS UK IS ENTERING A RECESSION

Stephen Heath, Chief Executive at FairFX.com, said: “Overnight investors have dumped the Pound and bought into the safe haven of the US Dollar, adding to the downward spiral which has seen the Pound lose over 20 per cent against the Dollar in the last three months.

“Yesterday, Mervyn King indicated the Pound could fall much faster and further than expected, as he admitted Britain is on the brink of recession and faces an extended and painful economic downturn.

“We are also seeing the Pound weaken against the Euro, with further falls expected.”
