BOE Governor's words tank the Pound
The British Pound Sterling fell across the board on Wednesday, after the Bank of England’s Governor, Mervyn King, said a slide of the Pound could help UK exporters and aid Britain's recovery from recession.
The remarks came after the UK released data on inflation which came in below the target, a better than expected showing.
Forex Online Investors are nervous however, even with the good inflation news, that after the elections early next year, the new government will implement a policy of fiscal tightening, which will likely cut the asset-buying program, a program that is widely hailed as a success.
At 10:15PM GMT, the British Pound was trading down 1.2% versus the US Dollar to .9288, down 1.02% to the Euro to .9042, down 1.15% to the Japanese Yen to 148.6, down 1.1% against the Swiss Franc to 1.6691 and down 1.06% versus the Australian Dollar to 1.7802.
