Yesterday, sterling dropped to its lowest level in 10 days against the US dollar as banking sector concerns and UK fiscal policy weighed down on investors.

The pound is under pressure ahead of Wednesday’s pre budget report which is likely to show the UK is carrying an ever increasing amount of debt as the treasury and Bank of England plough money into the economy to assist in recovery.
