And USD is not important to you, worst rate in 30+ years? Most of world commodity trade is priced in USD.

Interesting so it is back to what 2014/2015 levels against the Euro?
Oh no I remember those years all that rioting and unemployment, whole families being turfed onto the street, kids forced into prostitution
Oh god I hope we do not get those times again...
oh wait.

This could become a very long thread. Let's see how this pans out a few months from now...

You're welcomeOriginally posted by AtW View PostRoughly I reckon we made 16-17% extra on USD, and 12-13% extra on EUR compared to the Remain option for which I've voted...
Thanks Brexiters
Unfortunately, most of mine is in notional future earnings with existing clients (...just waiting for the contracts to get deep-sixed now
). I exchange quite regularly, and I exchanged a fair wedge in USD shortly before the outcome
I'm going to be stockpiling for a while though, just in case the smeg really hits.

Yeah, fair enough. I'm going to be stockpiling USD for the foreseeable.Originally posted by AtW View PostNeed the money.
We'll get more USD/EUR so if I am wrong we'd still gain from new inflows - win/win dirty spekulation situation

Premature IMO, unless you need the money. You're probably right in the short/medium-term. It's going to be hard for Cable to break 1.3 convincingly until we know the negotiating positions, and I'd expect it to range in 1-3-1.4 with the news. I think most analysts are suggesting 1.2-1.25 in the longer term, i.e. another 5-10% drop, but this won't happen until it filters into advance readings on the real economy (PMIs etc.).Originally posted by AtW View PostJust changed USD at below 1.33 and EUR at below 1.21 - that's tidy
I am going to repent now...
