YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Join Sophy Ridge as the value of the pound has sunk - as the cost of 30-year government borrowing reached a high last seen in 1998.

The so-called spot rate saw one pound buy $1.336 on Tuesday, a low last seen in early August, and down from $1.353 earlier in the day.
