Just a quick update here as I’m watching the vote live and all the market opens this morning.
As of 1430 HKT Jun 24th, 2016:
A New Reality:
Final Result LEAVE CAMP wins with 51.9% of the votes
- Pound suffers most dropping below $1.40 for the first time since 1985 (-8% today)
- The domino effect is starting around the markets worldwide with Europe opening up for the trading day.
- PM Cameron RESIGNS and mentions a new PM for October.
- Possible more QE, with BofE and other banks around the world looking to stabilise.
- Financials worst hit. HSBC down -8.9%.
- FTSE -8.8%
- Nikkei -7.9%
- Margin calls hit. And investors are not getting right back in as they normally would.
- Smart Money, was on REMAIN, and has got it very wrong.
- PROS
- Gold heads past $1300/oz
- Our Model Portfolios relatively less affected with the declines!
I will post the results of the impact on the Model Portfolios once the day closes and I have the prices.
I am congratulating my team for the correct call on Gold back in Feb @ $1100/oz and also the proper allocation of risk with 75-80% of the portfolio in allocation and cash funds.
Best,
Michael
