Reuters reported that the pound fell on Monday as investors focused on the relative strength of the U.S. economy, pushing up the dollar.
Sterling was last down 0.2% at $1.3023, just above Thursday’s two-month low of $1.2975.
The euro was up 0.1% at 83.35 pence, although it remained near its lowest level in 2-1/2 years against Britain’s currency.
The U.S. dollar has climbed against its peers in recent weeks as the economy has fared better than expected.
Last week, data showed retail sales grew more than anticipated in September and jobless claims fell the previous week, helping moderate investors’ bets on Federal Reserve rate cuts and pushing up Treasury yields.
By contrast, figures released last Wednesday showed British inflation fell more than expected in September to 1.7%, below the Bank of England’s 2% target, causing traders to increase their bets on deeper rate cuts in the UK.
