NoshowJones Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 At this point, the pound has lost nearly three Bt to the GBP since yesterday. That's because it looks like Brexit. If it is Brexit, is the pound going to get even weaker? Will it strengthen over the next few months? I'm all for leaving, but we need a decent amount of Baht to the pound, say around 52 Bt. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 It will probably get weaker because it only got stronger because the vote was to stay. Also the UK does not have much to offer to the world so on the long run economically they are worst off than staying in the EU and so it will probably weaken even more. That is my opinion and I could be wrong just wait and see. The first part of my opinion is fact the second part is based on what has been said economics wise but could be wrong.

trd Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 What people seem to forget is that the UK trades with many more countries outside the EU than within the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I seen a marginal drop in the Euro.. not much at all. But its logical Britain looses a lot more when exiting the EU but the EU looses something (on a far smaller scale) The difference is just the scale of the EU vs Britain, its bad for both but worse for the UK. I do hope that all trade deals are cancelled and that the EU makes it hard on the UK. For Ireland it might mean that google leaves, and finds an other EU country to go to.

Maybe the real investors have it all wrong then, propping up the pound when it looked like it was for staying and now dumping the pound when leave is more likely. I would say that those that trade currency for a living have a better understanding of things then most here on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought long and hard about the Netherlands leaving but economically it just makes no sense to leave such a great trade block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaidream Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The pound is taking a beating today as it looks as if the UK is exiting the EU. People in the UK have spoken and as an American- I certainly respect their decision. MOney markets and stock markets do not like uncertainty so unfortunately the pound will go lower in the short term but as the exit issues get ironed out- it will recover. While the British Empire does not exist- the UK is a major World country and has been the leading economic center for a long time. Frankly, it is the EU as a whole which will suffer more than the UK. Brits have faced adversity before and always seem to come through it just fine. If I had to make a guess in the long run the UK will rebound and find itself in a better position as all of its decisions will be made by the British themselves and not a shadow government sitting in Brussels.
