Below 1.29 on USD over night. 13% down since we jumped out of the aircraft, stuff from China is about to go. Only a matter of time before we start paying more for imported goods.

How can I take advantage with a cheap telly please?
If Golden Brown was still in charge we'd have a good idea when it was a good time to buy gold.
Buy one that's cheap now, it'll probably be more expensive very soon.

I'm sure this is what Boris means when he says the benefits of leaving the EU have not been properly explained. This is merely the first of the many benefits the country will receive thanks to leaving the EU. This is a fantastic chance for us to start manufacturing and buying our own British made tellys , although we obviously don't make many of the components so we will have to buy them from China where obviously it's cheaper, but it's a step in the right direction...

It's all a big hoax in order to deny us our liberty and freedom, we are the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world and these are just routine fluctuations in the market.....Boris said that it would " all be all right " for us all, oh apart from him now it seems.....

Not good if you work for an American company who have taken a huge hit on forex.

When get you unexpected blips in economic terms you are right to think that manufacturers/importers are reluctant to raise prices as they may well need to reduce them in the near future leaving them looking a little silly. Right now the overwhelming opinion is that prices of imported goods are on the rise at least in the short term and maybe into the medium term, manufacturers and importers are not going to expose themselves to losses that they may not recover for a long time. Welcome to Brexit.

Dropped from 5th to 6th biggest economy yesterday.
French GDP surpasses Britain on plunging pound.
At current exchange rates, French GDP exceeds UK
France is now the world's fifth biggest economy as the plunging pound undercuts UK GDP.
Reuters reports that with the pound below 1.30 and EUR/GBP at 0.8575 that French GDP sits at 2.182 trillion euros compared to Britain at 2.172 trillion.
The rivals have traded places several times. France was larger until 1997 but was surpassed by Britain in 2014.
