The GBP??? WTF

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything.

Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

It's weird as if by magic when UK requires favourable export conditions the Forex lads n lassies deliver up the goods ?
The £ has been overvalued for years, the inevitable € Euro crash will be apocalyptic.

[quote="CEOCambodiaNews"]Pound falls 10% in Asian trading mystery
Friday 7 October 2016 06.55 BST
A “fat finger” error by a trader or computerised chain reaction was thought responsible as the pound plunged to a new three-decade low during early trading in Asia on Friday – adding to the huge losses sterling had already suffered amid speculation that Britain is heading for a “hard Brexit”.


Right! As if it were quite that EZ. That's a really fat finger. :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

I am glad some fat cat money trader can make a tidy profit from all of this. What a wonderful profession they belong to.

The pound was down 1.7% against the dollar at $1.2421, in afternoon trading in London, with analysts blaming concern over the UK's negotiations to exit the European Union.

The flash crash aftershocks also briefly pushed sterling below €1.10, for the first time since early 2010...

Analysts at HSBC are forecasting that the pound could fall to $1.10 and could be worth just one euro by the end of next year.

"The argument which is still presented to us - that the UK and EU will resolve their difference and come to an amicable deal - appears a little surreal," said David Bloom, head of foreign exchange research at HSBC.

"It is becoming clear that many European countries will come to the negotiation table looking for political damage limitation rather than economic damage limitation. A lose-lose situation is the inevitable outcome."
