My guess is the markets will have fully recovered next week and the exchange rate will be back to normal.

Hi

The £ is still down by over 10% on the USD.

Nothing really serious will happen until the deal we do is known, if it is a good one, little will happen.

The BoE is printing money again, which is why the markets have gone up.

Yep. This past week doesn't give us any indication, as you say. In a few years' time, maybe...

International financiers rely on market fluctuation....That's how they make their millions.
Remember the words of Rhett Butler in Gone With the Wind
"Great fortunes are made by men during the rise and fall of nations.
