How to use Sterling in a sentence?

1. Cem Karakas:

   This year's investments will exceed the 1.6 billion lira in 2015, in the snacks segment particularly, we want to expand our business by 17 percent each year in sterling (GBP) terms. To achieve this we need to invest in our capacity.

2. Scott Thiel:

   We remain constructive on sterling around current levels as we believe it is fairly valued, though given the headline risks around Brexit negotiations, our positioning is through buying call options.

3. Stuart Cole:

   The re-opening of the dominant UK services sector as lockdown restrictions are removed is expected to provide a further boost for sterling.

4. Neil Mellor:

   The clear risk must be for further downside, uncertainty equals currency weakness, we know this, and there is no sense that this (sterling) is a value trade right now and that you have to get back in. It is too early for anyone to start calling a bottom.

5. Mike Ingram:

It seems as though holidaymakers were delaying and hoping to book at the last minute, so a stock like Thomas Cook will be hit, given the depreciation of sterling, given the security concerns and given that people might opt for.
