The so-called 'Boris bounce' didn't last long, as the pound has fallen once again in the wake of the British general election and fresh concerns over a no-deal Brexit.

Sterling fell 1% against the dollar, to below $1.32, and dropped 1.2% against the euro to €1.18.

Ian Guider, markets editor of The Business Post, joined us for the business news with this story and more, including:

  • Ulster Bank pays out €500m to its parent company, returning some of the bailout money it received during the financial crisis
  • Credit union savings grow but many are struggling to lend
  • It will still take close to 100 years for the gender pay gap to be closed
