(Repeats to attach story to news alert)

NEW YORK, Aug 27 (Reuters) - Sterling slid to a fresh two-year low against the U.S. dollar on Wednesday in thin trading, pressured by concerns about a slowing British economy that could force the Bank of England to cut interest rates.

Sterling GBP= fell to $1.8286, the lowest since July 2006, according to Reuters data. It was last at $1.8312, still down 0.4 percent on the day.

The British pound has dropped from about $2.0153 hit just over a month ago, and was on track to post its weakest monthly performance against the dollar since 1992. (Reporting by Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss; Editing by James Dalgleish)
