IBT: Pound gains ground against euro and dollar as focus turns to Brexit negotiations
The pound kicked off the week on the front foot, recouping some of last week's losses as it gained against its main rivals ahead of a week when politics are expected to take centre stage amid a lack of economic data.
By early afternoon, sterling was up 0.43% and 0.50% against the dollar and the euro respectively, exchanging hands at $1.2465 and €1.1743.
