Pound climbs to above $1.70 mark
16 Jun 2014
David Swann of Travelex comments: “The Pound has been making progress against the US Dollar in recent months but achieving over $1.70 marks a turning point. Brits who’ve previously calculated costs in the US by taking two thirds to be the cost in Pounds will now need to adjust their thinking.”
