Apart from causing interest costs to rise, the mini-pound should benefit U.S. consumers. However, the price of British goods shipped abroad will fall not by the full 14.3% devaluation but from zero to about 10%, depending chiefly on how much of the final tab represents transportation, import duties, U.S. distribution and profit markups.
