Are sterling prices falling because we might vote leave and if so why
do leavers keep saying it will go up if we leave?

Actually almost nothing is happening to the markets or the pound as
the markets have rightly assessed that the day after the referendum,
almost nothing will have changed, nor will it in the short term
future.


"£20bn was wiped off the FTSE 100 index

More than £20bn was wiped off the FTSE 100 index yesterday and the
pound fell as the markets took fright over the prospect of Leave vote.

Buoyant Leave campaigners will set out detailed plans today for how a
Brexit would play out."

Taken from inews site.

How much was wiped off the US and German stock exchanges? The value
of your investments can go down as well as up.


Didn't look - I was refuting, with quotes, the lie that 'almost nothing
is happening to the markets or the pound'

Thats not a lie, thats a fact.

Not much is actually happening, certainly not compared with what
happened when the stock market fell from over 7000 to under 4000 as a
result of US and other countries' stupid attitudes to debt.
