Sterling Falls 1% Against The Euro And The Dollar

The pound has fallen significantly against the Euro and Dollar in the past 24 hours alone – falling from $1.6598 to £1 to $1.6479 to £1, and from €1.1366 to £1 to €1.1203 to £1.

Stephen Heath, Chief Executive of FairFX.com, said: “The value of Sterling fell dramatically yesterday morning after Mervyn King said the MPC will lower the deposit rates to free up lending between banks. We have now seen the pound take such a pummelling that you will get just $1.6479 or €1.1203 to £1.

“Anyone looking to buy their currency now should make sure they lock in the best rate for their holiday money or they could lose out on up to $95 or €70 for every £1,000 they spend.*”
