London/Franfurt - The dollar surged to a two-year high against the pound and a six-month peak against the euro on Friday, as fears about spreading economic gloom triggered a sell-off in commodities. Against sterling, the US currency notched up its 11th consecutive day of gains ? its longest uninterrupted rise in more than 35 years ? as markets became increasingly convinced that the US was best-placed to weather the global downturn.
