There are many factors which impact currency movements and they are relative to the currency being compared to.
So, the pound has weakened a lot recently against the dollar and this is down to 2 main factors.
First, the underlying strength of the US (4.1% annualised growth now), compared to the UK 0.2% quarter 1 growth. (Before anyone starts on the growth rate of the UK, read back a few posts and see what’s happening in Germany/France as well). UK growth is expect to be higher in Q2 but that’s a separate issue.
Next, the raising of the heat on all sides (the EU and both the remain/leave camps within the UK) foster uncertainty and markets hare uncertainty, so this will cause a loss of confidence in the UK. The underlying strength of the economy is OK, otherwise why did Carney (eventually) raise interest rates and alos bear in mind the employment/unemployment stats in the UK.
This froth around the No Brexit right now is of course impacting the pound, but that’s very different from saying it’s having an impact in the real world. Markets are not some kind of all intelligent force to be relied up. Markets suffer from a herd mentality which can be seen in overpricing and then crashes. If they were intelligent, these bubbles and crashes would not occur.
As Giraffe pointed out though, there were not many headlines when the pound was gradually strengthening from about 1.20 to 1.40, but as soon as it drop, well, it’s major negative news again.

You're back. I'm pleased as I was worried that maybe you had gone blind.
And a little tip - try and keep your lies consistent. (It makes it a little harder for people to actually pin you down as an idiot, not much harder, but a little)
More deflection
You can guarantee leavers will be upset with the outcome in a few months but avoid revealing what this outcome will be when asked……..surprise surprise.
I thought you had a crystal ball. I bet you deflect again when you reply
I know you don’t believe any longer that “Brexit wont happen”, but just to clarify are you saying you never had the belief or position that “Brexit wont happen” in the past and to say so is a lie?

More importantly Euro rate slumping towards parity, makes those Spanish holidays more expensive , even more so next year when you'll need a visa etc in your blue passport

the “guilty” fines and judgements are to be contested too with legal representation involved. So how are they guilty before the process is complete. Even anti Brexit BBC now refers to them as “allegations” since the decision to contest them was made.
Ps The official remain campaign and the lib dems were found guilty of breaking electoral rules during the referendum and admitted so when they paid the fines imposed.

I note a new political party is in its embryonic stages, led by the multi-millionaire philanthropist and founder of LoveFilm, Simon Franks, it is being suggested that David Milliband might become its leader
The Establishment trying to split the Labour vote they really are in fear of a Labour victory at the next election

Or, in the real world, a new center-left party may be formed due to the Labour Party being taken over by left-wing extremists.
Even though I’m not a Labour voter, this would be a good move for a lot of less extreme Labour voters.
I’d be open to voting for a new party which supports public services but doesn’t look to screw the business/successful people. Sensible tax and spend policies.

Centre left or just off centre right party with a pro EU agenda with our original opt outs could nail an election in this country
It could be following the French model Macron was not attached to any political party when he become president and had build one from the ground up to be able to form a government
President Trump was not attached to any party and only just won enough votes to be elected Republican candidate
Or could it be the SDP who having at one stage 50% of the projected vote collapsed into oblivion nearly taking the Liberal Party with them
I guess time will tell but I have no doubt that it's an Establishment plot

'This froth around the No Brexit right now is of course impacting the pound, but that’s very different from saying it’s having an impact in the real world'
But like it or not this is the real world. It will be found in the reduced spending power of UK holiday-makers, the rising prices of goods in the supermarkets and petrol at the pump. It's Brexit-related, it's not good and it might last a long time. I hope it doesn't; but really Leavers can't add 'markets' to the list of people to blame, can they?
