Sterling heads for worst weekly performance since January - REUTERS
LONDON, Nov 15 (Reuters) - The pound headed for its biggest weekly loss since January on Friday, under pressure from weak UK economic data and a surging dollar that is getting a lift from investors' conviction that Donald Trump's policies will drive up U.S. growth and inflation. Britain's economy contracted unexpectedly in September and growth slowed to a crawl over the third quarter, data showed on Friday. Sterling was unchanged on the day at $1.26795, around its lowest since May and set for a 2% decline this week, its largest weekly loss since January.
