£ makes sterling rebound as Brexit fears wane

London

STERLING climbed to its highest since early January against the US dollar on Tuesday, after opinion polls suggested the campaign to keep Britain in the European Union was edging back into the lead.

Two opinion polls on Monday indicated the "Remain" camp has regained some ground before Britain holds its June 23 referendum on whether to remain a member of the EU. However, a third poll found the "Leave" campaign ahead by a whisker.
