Johnson's decision to leave the government came hours after the minister in charge of Brexit negotiations, David Davis, also resigned.
The pound failed to improve against the euro after his resignation.
Mr Davis's official resignation letter read: "The national interest requires a Secretary of State in my department that is an enthusiastic believer in your approach, and not merely a reluctant conscript.
“While I have been grateful to you for the opportunity to serve, it is with great regret that I tender my resignation from the Cabinet with immediate effect.”
Theresa May responded: “I am sorry that the Government will not have the benefit of your continued expertise and counsel as we secure this deal and complete the process of leaving the EU, but I would like to thank you warmly for everything you have done over the past two years as Secretary of State to shape our departure from the EU, and the new role the UK will forge on the world stage as an independent, self-governing nation once again.”
