UK vote to leave the EU ['BREXIT'] - 23rd June
Re: UK vote to leave the EU ['BREXIT'] - 23rd June
p.s. the last time the UK voted on the EU [then EEC] in the 70s it was to join a plain-vanilla trade block of 9 countries.
This was the first time they got to vote on what the EU has become, an undemocratic superstate.

Maybe that's the problem, no one gets to vote for the 'EU government'. This is the disconnect that is now starkly revealed.Mexikaner wrote:..."every country has the government it deserves"

What's next is you'll have the media writing 'Who's next?' articles, likely starting today.

This is with the pound 10% down. Gold in GBP is up 15%! Soros was buying Gold. I bet he has made a fortune again

My question is somewhat relevant I suppose... I have some US dollar that I want to change to SGD....with the exit of Britain from the EU...I guess worldwide currency will be somehow affected?... Should I change the dollar now or wait for few more days?

I woke up and felt sick when I saw the news. The long distant sound of war drums in Europe is slowly become audible again.

That rate was circa 1.343 at midnight (London) last night, and 1.3550 as I write. 0.9% of a move, so probably nothing to get concerned about.nanana wrote:My question is somewhat relevant I suppose...

You might conclude that both currencies have a safe-haven aspect to them [vs the Euro/£/EU].

France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Belgium, Austria - all now lower than the FTSE-100. The other 'major' exchange in Europe is Switzerland [non-EU/safe-haven], and that's +0.65%JR8 wrote:The FTSE is just opening, approx -8.5%, but the German DAX index is -10%... lol, shows you who this vote hurts the most.
