Falling pound fuels energy costs as Brexit vote delayed

摘要

Sterling was down 1.36% against the dollar at $1.2544 and down 1.1% on the euro at €1.1035 just after May addressed parliament at 16:40 GMT. New research Monday showed devaluation in the pound since the Brexit referendum had added £75/year ($94/year) to the average UK consumer energy bill in 2017 alone, and could add a further £65/year in the event of a no-deal exit next March.
