Britain’s decision to leave the
European Union sent new
shockwaves through financial
markets on Monday, with the pound
falling despite the country’s leaders’
attempts to ease political and
economic turmoil unleashed by the
move.
But sterling later sank to its lowest
level against the U.S. currency for 31
years, continuing the fall that began
last week when Britons confounded
investors’ expectations by voting to
end 43 years of EU membership.
This put the pound, and European
bank shares, on course for their
biggest two-day slides on record.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said
uncertainties over the global
economy had heightened and called
for a “united, stable EU, and a stable,
prosperous Britain”.
Russia is pleased to see the
European Union weakened and
China is concerned that business as
usual will suffer.
The USA is losing its best and
strongest link (through the UK) to
Europe.
There will be lots of problems in the
wake of this decision but how will the
Brexit vote affect your investments?
Investments in British Stocks
The first level of concern is if you
have investments in British stocks.
As we noted in our article, How to
Invest in British Stocks, the Brexit
could end up helping British
manufacturing by reducing the value
of the pound and making British
exports more competitive.
The Guardian thinks Brexit would
help UK manufacturing because it
would do away with high EU tariffs.
There is a reason why our
internationally competitive
manufacturing companies such as
JCB and Dyson support Brexit.
To survive and compete the UK has
to expose itself to international
competition and needs to focus on
selling into the fast growing markets
of the future.
The alternative of remaining
protected behind the tariff wall and
regulations of the EU makes
companies flabby and less
competitive in global markets.
Yes, there are many big firms who
want to remain in the EU.
Not only do those big firms have the
ability to lobby Brussels but they all
too often focus on the short term and
their next quarter’s results.
A weaker pound would help UK
exports and perhaps a reduction in
trade regulations might also be
useful.
Effects of Brexit on the US
Economy
Time writes about why Brexit is a
big deal for the US economy.
Politicians and technocrats of all
stripes are trying to reassure
Americans that Britain’s vote last
week to leave the EU won’t affect
them economically. They are wrong.
Brexit has already caused a number
of dominos to fall.
Scotland and Northern Ireland,
frightened of being cast adrift from
Europe, may vote to leave the U.K. in
order to stay in the European Union.
Far right wing voices that were
already gaining steam in places like
Germany, France and the
Netherlands have been emboldened.
Politicians in the latter two countries
have already called for an exit vote.
The angry unthinking populism that
has been infecting politics in the UK
is active in Europe and in the US as
well.
Businesses like stability and the
“throw the bums out” approach of
Trump and others comes with no
clear and proven path to a better
world.
How the Brexit vote will affect your
investments in the US may be badly.
The dollar is likely to rise as a safe
haven so increasing the cash position
until things become more clear may
be the best approach.
