The British pound fell sharply against the US dollar on Monday after Britain’s new government unveiled plans to cut taxes and boost spending. The pound fell to a low of 1.0349 per US dollar in early trade on Monday. However, it improved slightly later and was down by 2.3 percent at 1.0671 per dollar. Thus, the pound is at a four-decade low against the dollar.

Amid the strength of the US currency, the rupee is trading at an all-time low of 81.56 on Monday, down 47 paise against the US dollar. Risk aversion among investors also put pressure on the rupee.

Meanwhile, the dollar index, reflecting the US dollar’s position against the six major currencies, rose 0.67 per cent to 113.94. Global oil benchmark Brent crude futures were down 0.58 per cent at $85.65 per barrel. Due to this, there is a fall in the rupee.
