Superdry co-founder Julian Dunkerton today pledged to put in £10 million of his own money as he fights to rescue a business that has been buffeted for years but which he insists can be saved. The company will delist from the stock market allowing Dunkerton to focus on retailing – and avoids the business falling into administration or being snapped up by Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group. Other investors may also back the shake-up, but CEO Dunkerton has pledged to underwrite the full amount, a sign of his commitment to the brand.

The dollar rose to a five-month high against the pound and euro on Tuesday, a day after stronger-than-expected U.S. retail sales sent Treasury yields higher, raising worries of an intervention from Tokyo as the yen languished at its lowest since 1990. Data on Monday showed U.S. retail sales rose 0.7% last month, compared with a 0.3% rise that economists polled by Reuters had forecast, reinforcing expectations that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to rush to cut interest rates this year. "The U.S. economy continues to grow very solidly at a level which is above the long-term trend and which does support higher U.S. bond yields and which argues against the Fed cutting interest rates," said Kenneth Broux, head of corporate research, FX and Rates at Societe Generale.
