(Bloomberg) -- The U.K. pound rose to a two-week
high against the dollar after minutes of the Bank of England's
last policy meeting showed Governor Mervyn King and three other
policy committee members voted for higher interest rates.
King, John Gieve, Timothy Besley and Andrew Sentance argued
for a quarter-point move to 5.75 percent, minutes of the June 6-7
meeting published by the central bank today showed. Five members
voted for an unchanged stance. The U.K.'s lending rates are the
highest of the Group of 7 nations, helping to draw investments
and strengthen the pound.
