Fears about terms of the U.K.’s departure from the European Union have cut the value of the British pound against the dollar and euro to 28-month lows of $1.22 and €1.10.
The decline comes as the government of new Prime Minister Boris Johnson prepares for a “no-deal” Brexit at the end of October. Johnson has taken a hard line on the ext, declaring the deal worked out by former PM Theresa May as “dead.”
Johnson hopes to extract a better last-minute arrangement from the European Union. But he also has repeatedly stated that the U.K. will leave the EU deal or no deal.
The pound sterling has been on a trending lower against the U.S. dollar for 15 months from $1.42 in early April 2018. Analysts predicts further weakening as Brexit approaches.
