It should be recalled that  yesterday the UK voted to leave the European Union. The official referendum results show that 51.9% of voters supported leaving the EU.

The pound suffered its biggest one-day fall in history, falling more than 10 percent against the dollar to hit levels last seen in 1985, while the euro slumped more than 3 percent.
