Sterling sinks to fresh low on devaluation fears
Sterling hits its lowest since the November devaluation as dealers sell off on caution rather than external pressure. The rate drops to around $SUS2.3882, with a near 4 decline in two days. Trading is light and the Bank of England did not appear to support the rate early in the session amid looming UK trade data and currency concerns. Gold sits at $52.40 an ounce, down 20 cents, with modest turnover.
