After a bit of an overnight rally in Asia, its beginning to slide again.

I predict 1.1950 to 1.20 by COB Friday - anyone else care to speculate a number (just for fun).

I think we will see some stability. 1.24 when we realize it's all a bit oversold.

I think a 'correction' back from the Asian dip the other day.

I think then stability but no real progress.

1.24 - 1.25 for the foreseeable.

was interesting watching the news last night and seeing how the reporting is still so anti-brexit. They were saying that you can't take into account how well the FTSE 100 is doing because those companies earn most of their money overseas. Failed to mention how the FTSE 250 is also at record levels as that would not suit their argument quite so well.

It got down to 1.208 last night fairly easily.
The comments from May on giving MPs a say on Brexit gave a bit of relief. But won't last, will go under 1.20 by Friday

Don't be fooled by the stock-market highs. It's got to go to the shit at some point.

50% of the 250s revenues are from overseas trade

Errr.. The UK is still in the EU, so current trading etc is not immediately affected...

The press should be anti-Brexit, coz even with months to go before the UK is pulled out of the EU, already the cracks are starting to show...

Err.... With most of the FTSE components earning the major part of their revenues overseas,, then a 20% drop in sterling means IT IS affecting trade right now. Probably more so than after Brexit when there maybe some tariffs to balance it out.

FTSE is up on Sterling, not on its joy at Brexit

High-tech truly global manufactures in the UK will be benefit from exactly this.

Think Rolls Royce, they will have a great boom.
