Investing.com - Sterling fell Monday on reports of a possible push for fresh Scottish independence vote.
The Times reported U.K. PM Theresa May's government is bracing for a new move for a vote on Scottish independence.
The pound was off 0.39% at $1.2413 at 03:00 ET. It eased 0.59% to €1.1733.
Scotland rejected independence in a referendum held in September 2014.
The push for a fresh Scottish plebiscite could be sparked by May's government invoking Article 50 to exit the EU.
Scotland voted to remain in the EU in the Brexit referendum held in June of last year.
The dollar index was off 0.05% at 101.07 ahead of a speech by U.S. President Donald Trump to Congress on Tuesday.
The dollar was up 0.03% at 112.19 yen.
Investors are waiting for details of Trump fiscal stimulus plans.
