The pound fell the most in over a month against the dollar after London Mayor Boris Johnson, one of the U.K.'s best-known and most popular politicians, said he'll campaign for Britain to leave the European Union in a June referendum.
英國最知名、最受歡迎的政客、倫敦市長鮑里斯·約翰遜表示將推動英國在6月的公投中退出歐盟后，英鎊兌美元創一個多月以來的最大跌幅
The drop undid a gain made late Friday, when David Cameron secured a deal on membership terms with EU leaders. The U.K. Prime Minister said the following day that he would fight to keep Britain in the bloc, and set a June 23 date for the vote. Morgan Stanley analysts wrote on Friday that Johnson's decision would be key for sterling, given his popularity with the British public.
這一跌幅也抹去了周五晚間戴維·卡梅倫與歐盟領導人就歐盟成員國地位的條件達成一致后英鎊的漲幅。這位英國首相第二天表示，他將努力做到使英國留在歐盟中，并且宣布在6月23日就此進行公投。而在周五，摩根士丹利的分析師寫道：鑒于約翰遜在英國公眾中的受歡迎程度，他的決定將是影響英國貨幣的關鍵。
The pound fell 1 percent to $1.4258 as of 9:11 a.m. on Monday, the most on a closing basis since Jan. 15. It climbed 0.5 percent Friday.
截至周一凌晨1點55分，英鎊兌美元下跌1%，報1英鎊兌1.4277美元，為1月15日以來最大跌幅。這一數字曾在周五上漲了0.5%。
Even after Cameron announced a deal winning welfare curbs on Friday, a measure of traders' expectations for price swings in the pound against the euro during the next six months remained at the highest since 2011.
即使在卡梅隆周五宣布已經就相關福利措施達成協議之后，英鎊/歐元六個月隱含波動率已飆升至2011年以來的最高水平。
Johnson isn't the only dissenter. Six ministers said they'd defy Cameron on Saturday, among them the Prime Minister's long-time friend and ally, Justice Secretary Michael Gove.
據悉，約翰遜并不是唯一的反對者。包括首相長期的朋友和盟友、司法部長邁克爾·戈夫在內的六位部長于周六表示，他們會公開反對卡梅倫。
Even so, Cameron has convinced the majority of his cabinet to support him, including Business Secretary Sajid Javid and Home Secretary Theresa May.
即使如此，卡梅倫也已經說服了大多數內閣成員來支持他，其中就包括商務大臣Sajid Javid以及內務大臣Theresa May。
