The pound has fallen sharply against the dollar after Andrew Bailey warned the Bank of England would not extend its emergency intervention in financial markets beyond this week, after the turmoil sparked by the government’s mini-budget.
Sterling skidded by more than a cent against the dollar to below $1.10 after the Bank’s governor insisted the £65bn scheme to purchase UK government bonds would not be continued beyond the deadline on Friday.
Pensions industry leaders and one of the Bank’s former deputy governors had earlier called for an extension to mop up the ongoing bond market fallout triggered by Kwasi Kwarteng’s ill-received mini-budget last month.
The central bank had started the day by saying it would revamp the scheme’s bond-buying firepower – within the existing timeframe – for a second time in as many days, warning there were still “material risks” in government debt markets affecting UK pension funds.

A spy at Berlin's British embassy, who sold secrets to Russia and was caught in an undercover MI5 sting, has been jailed for 13 years and two months. David Smith, 58, tried to damage Britain's interests by passing on details of the embassy and its staff for cash payments, a judge found after the spy pleaded guilty.
Wheat markets recover with Black Sea grain deal under pressure
Poor crop conditions for US winter wheat, as well as building tensions surrounding the Black Sea grain deal for Ukraine have triggered a £20/t recovery in feed wheat prices in recent weeks.
The current grain export deal between Russia, Ukraine and the United Nations is due to expire on 18 March, and while another extension is likely to be agreed, it is still to be signed.
