Sterling jumps to a two-month high on expectations of a British interest rate hike
Sterling jumped to a two-month high on Wednesday amid growing expectations among investors that the Bank of England will raise interest rates next month after a surprise increase in December.
And growing expectations that Britain will not impose measures to curb economic activity to contain a jump in Covid-19 infections also gave support to the stock market, as the benchmark index on the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG) rose to its highest level in nearly two years.
The sterling continued to rise for the second session in a row, reaching $1.3567, its highest level since early November.
