Pound Dips Below 1.52 Against US Dollar

A nervous sterling has dipped below 1.52 against the dollar in early trade with just a couple of days left to go to this week's election.

Poll results generally seem to point to a hung parliament, although one in the Telegraph appears to indicate an outright Tory victory.

As well as pre-election uncertainty we have data due later today on UK manufacturing, money supply, UK consumer confidence and mortgage approvals.

Looks like we could be in for a roller coaster week.
