UK PM May's spokesman says level of sterling is for markets to determine

LONDON, Aug 13 (Reuters) - The level of sterling, which has tumbled to near 13-month lows over Brexit fears and the dollar strength, is for financial markets to determine, British Prime Minister Theresa May's spokesman said on Monday.

Sterling lost 2 percent of its value last week because of growing unease among investors over the chances of Britain leaving the European Union without a deal. It continued to languish near 13-month lows on Monday.

When asked if May had a view on the currency's fall, her spokesman said: "Those matters are for the financial markets to determine. It is not something we would comment on." (Reporting by Kylie MacLellan)
