An Historic Day Today

Historic Voting Starts!

Today is the historic day when the people of UK decide whether to remain part of the European Union.

A study run by Natcen Social Research, which calculates the average figure of the last 6 polls says that 51% are in favour of remaining in the EU, whereas 49% are in favour of leaving. With there also being a large number of people still undecided, the outcome is very much far from certain.

As a result of this currency markets are expected to be extremely volatile over the next 48 hours. If you have any requirement for a currency exchange we could be looking at big swings in the rates.

To protect yourself against any currency moves it important to speak to Ben Amrany from FC Exchange follow this link or phone and ask for him and quote "Cle France" on 020 7989 0000.

Brexit Currency Calculator

With the EU referendum fast approaching, the impact of 'Leave' or indeed 'Remain' in the EU has been much debated, including its impact on exchange rates, so we have developed a "Brexit Currency Calculator" that looks at the potential outcomes for the pound against some of the major currencies.

Try the Brexit Currency Calculator here.

The familiar George Soros also warned yesterday that British jobs and finances would be at risk if the country left the EU. He said that the pound would ‘decline precipitously’ in the event of a Brexit by around 15% and possibly more than 20% against the dollar. Going on the performance of the pound yesterday, this is not hard to believe.

One thing is certain, we can expect significant volatility before the referendum and after as the market struggles to price in this unique event.
