Kamal Sharma, a foreign exchange strategist based in London said: “Sterling's fall from grace has been epic given last year's euphoria and in many ways has caught the investor community by surprise.

“This has resulted in a confusing communication strategy: hiking rates against a sharply slowing economy is never a good look for any currency.”

The Bank of England continuing to hike interest rates won’t be enough to rescue the pound, strategist Kamal Sharma said in a note.

The pound has been on a steady decline since June 2021 versus the dollar.

Is ‘Politicization of policy’ undermining the pound and is the pound the third-worst performing major currency this year ?
