Assumptions are dangerous things.
A lot of investors have assumed a Brexit deal will get done because it’s in everyone’s interests.
But what if this assumption is wrong?
Yesterday was the first day where the market seemed to hit the panic button.
And for good reason.
Boris Johnson declared there is a “strong possibility” of a no-deal Brexit and “now is the time” for companies and people to prepare.
The Pound suitably dropped like a stone.
Is Boris bluffing?
He’s definitely not afraid to push negotiations to the limit. It could be all part of ‘the game’.
But one things for sure: the consequences are very real.
Yesterday’s ‘correction’ could foreshadow a much bigger move in the coming weeks.
With so much at stake, it looks inevitable that we’re in for a volatile ride.
What should You do?
Whether you hold Pounds, Euros, or Dollars, you must weigh up whether you want to take the risk.
There is time to get your transaction done before Brexit should you wish to.
