The shocking "leave" vote result on the Brexit issue has roiled world markets, and especially the currency markets. The British pound set a six-month high and a multi-year low--all in matter of a few hours' time!
It was the biggest one-day price fluctuation in currency trading history. The same goes for the Euro currency.
Next week, look for more volatile trading in many markets, as the dust settles on the Brexit vote and its implications for the European Union and the collective world economy. Stay tuned!
