The pound reversed its decline against the dollar after the minutes of the Bank of England’s policy meeting this month showed Governor Mervyn King was defeated for a second month in a vote to expand stimulus.
Sterling gained 0.3 percent to $1.5139 at 9:41 a.m. London time, after earlier slipping by as much as 0.5 percent. It was little changed at 85.32 pence per euro, after earlier slipping by as much as 0.6 percent.
