Brexit


Hey Folk


Britain have decided to exit the EU. It is the beginning of something new. Disintegration

More countries will follow suit what Britain have done and even within Britain, Scotland wants to stay in the EU. They too can hold a referendum to be independent and join the EU.

This will surely impact Euro dollar and Sterling directly for a period of time. So I think these 2 currency towards the USD will be suppressed. Despite central bank coming to intervene the market.

However, Britain and EU will take 2 years for the ‘divorce to be sealed’. New trade deals, regulation and legislation have to be discussed and implement. New border control law and etc. For now it is more of a political catastrophe than a financial catastrophe, however I do think that there may be certain hidden ‘financial catastrophe’ factors are building up, maybe worse than the magnitude of Lehman.

If you happen to have this book titled “one man view of the world” by Mr Lee which was publish about 5 years ago, he had pointed out that EU will fail eventually unless a great leader come about. When ask about in his life time who he consider a great leader he mentioned Deng XiaoPing.

I did go through the book again and I found many similarity of things that is happening now was mentioned in his book.

So how does it relate to our pocket??? Short Euro and GBP for the long term. Europe stock market will not be good either. My pick will be US and follow by China.

I also obvious that there are not much impact on Shanghai market when Brexit happen. So maybe the next run will be there.

With this exit, I think the FED will not be able to raise rate again. Bank of England said that they are going to do some easing this summer. So rate hike maybe delay again. Which i think is good for the stock market.

Conspiracy theory, FED Yellen is a democrats she is more in favour with Hillary than Trump. And Trump said he will replace her if he is elected. Maybe she want to boost the market up for Hillary.
