Yesterday S&P downgraded its outlook for the British economy to "negative" because government debt in the U.K. may equal 100% of GDP. The pound tumbled on the news.
Today the dollar followed suit and dropped to a five-month low, indicating just how fast these markets can move. The drop was blamed on yesterday's downgrade. The dollar fell 0.4% to $1.3941 against the euro, 0.1% against the pound to $1.5839 and 0.2% to Y94.17 against the yen. The dollar index, which is valued against a basket of currencies, dropped 0.2% to $80.349
