Speculators are eagerly waiting for the next Bank of England decision - which will happen on Thursday.
On the currency exchange market this morning, the pound took a dive against the US dollar and the Euro. Speculators are worried that the Bank will decide to extend its massive QE (quantitative easing) programme - a fact which would cause large amounts of pound-selling.
In addition, there was a flurry of concern about Britain's political climate: surveys published over the weekend showed that right now, neither of the two main parties (Labour and the Tories) would get a majority win at the general election.
Seems as though neither Gordon nor David can be sure that they will be governing the country come summertime.
