Little sign of election nerves as sterling hits 2-month high

10:27 AM

Forex tips: Sterling hit a two-month high against a broadly weaker dollar on Wednesday, just days before a closely fought British parliamentary election that international investors see as having little impact. Sterling has risen more than 3 percent since last Wednesday, when minutes from the Bank of England showed the central bank saw a chance that inflation could rebound faster than expected next year, and that it thought the rate tightening priced in by markets was "exceptionally slow". Sterling traded at $1.5397, its strongest since March 3 and up 0.4 percent on the day. Against the euro, the pound was 0.2 percent higher at 71.44 pence.
