I'd watch GBP/USD or GBP/JPY (Japanese Yen) because if brexit happens the Euro will probably dive as well whereas USD and JPY (and CHF - Swiss Franc) are safe havens so GBP/USD or GBP/JPY GBP/CHF will give a much bigger move."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like?

The other play is gold.
One, the shock will likely cause gold to rise in price, and as it is priced in dollars, the gain in GBP should be pretty good.Comment
