ReutersSterling hits one-month high as dollar slides; focus turns to BoE
The pound rose to its highest in a month on Wednesday as the dollar retreated further after surging two days ago on the threat of sweeping U.S. tariffs, while the focus in UK markets turned to the Bank of England rate decision on Thursday. The U.S. dollar index, which tracks the currency against six peers, fell 0.5% on Wednesday. Many economists think - and British officials are hopeful - that Britain will be spared the worst of U.S. President Donald Trump's aggressive tariff policies due to a more balanced trade situation between the two countries.
