As fears arose that Brexit could result in higher trade barriers and that
some more EU nations might follow in the UK's footsteps, stock,
currency and bond markets across the world plunged into turmoil and
investors sought refuge in safe havens like gold and US treasuries.
The sterling was pounded, losing over 10% against the dollar, its biggest
decline ever, to hit its lowest level since 1985. The euro fell 2%. Gold
soared by more than 8% to touch a two-year high of $1,358 before
easing to $1,307.
Asian stocks, including the Japanese Nikkei, saw their sharpest fall in 10
months.
