Polls are closed, the votes have been counted, and the world finally knows that the UK will leave the EU. After hitting a fresh 2016 high against the US dollar yesterday morning, sterling is now at rates against the US dollar last seen 8 years ago at the height of the financial crisis.
Markets will continue to be driven largely by reaction to yesterday’s historic vote, and it is likely to be some time until markets have fully settled. Elsewhere, core durable goods orders from the US will provide some interest for investors.
