Sterling's Woes Prompt Base Rate Cut Speculation
Commenting on the Pound’s crash yesterday, Stephen Heath, Chief executive of travel money specialists FairFX.com, said: "Following a good week when the Pound started to look a little healthier against the Dollar, it came as a shock when by the close of trading yesterday the Pound had suffered its biggest one day fall since 1992.
"This was largely due to weak manufacturing and mortgage data fuelling fears Britain is facing a long and deep recession. Against the Euro, it was a similar story as Sterling lost four cents on the Euro.
"All eyes are now on the MPC as traders speculate another rate cut in the 100 basis point region is almost inevitable as policy makers try to revive the economy by any means necessary."
