It committed to buying as many long-dated gilts as needed until Oct. 14.<\/p>\n<p>Sterling was 0.51% lower at $1.0831 as of 1200 GMT, returning some of the previous session\u2019s 1.41% rally. The euro weakened 0.32% to $0.97065, following Wednesday\u2019s 1.51% surge, the biggest since early March.<\/p>\n<p>Sterling had plummeted to a record low of $1.0327 on Friday as investors delivered a scathing verdict on the new government\u2019s plan for record tax cuts funded by a massive increase in borrowing, at the same time as the BoE is aggressively tightening monetary policy to rein in rampant inflation.<\/p>\n<p>Europe\u2019s shared currency had plunged to a new two-decade low of $0.9528.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe BoE\u2019s bond purchases may temper the UK government\u2019s borrowing costs but have not resolved the tensions between fiscal loosening and monetary tightening,\u201d Carol Kong, a strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, wrote in a client note.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConcerns about the UK\u2019s fiscal plan and its broader economy suggest GBP will likely stay offered against the USD and other major currencies in the near term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback against sterling, the euro and four other major peers, edged 0.07% higher to 113.11, heading back in the direction of Wednesday\u2019s 20-year high of 114.78.<\/p>\n<p>The dollar added 0.23% to 144.43 yen. The currency pair has kept its head below the 145 line since Japanese officials intervened a week ago, following a surge to a 24-year high of 145.90 that day.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere, the risk-sensitive Australian dollar sank 0.38% to $0.64995, giving back some of Wednesday\u2019s 1.34% climb.<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand\u2019s currency dropped 0.42% to $0.5706, following a 1.7% surge in the previous session.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Kevin Buckland; Editing by Shri Navaratnam)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/sterling-slips-back-with\/attachment\/boards-displaying-buying-and-selling-rates-are-seen-outside-of\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8S01G-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8S01G-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Kevin Buckland TOKYO (Reuters) \u2013 Sterling retreated again on Thursday from a sharp bounce against the dollar overnight, after the Bank of England announced unlimited bond purchases to shore<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1663278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1663278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1663278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1663278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1663278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1663278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1663278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
