UK pound surged after election in Britain
LONDON: The pound has surged after an exit poll in Britain's Brexit election projected that Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative Party likely will win a majority of seats in Parliament.
The pound jumped over two cents late Thursday against the dollar, to $1.3445, the highest in more than a year-and-a-half.
