“If It Happens, Gold Will Be The World’s Strongest Currency”
The headlines go from bad to worse for the UK and EU establishment as yet another new poll this weekend, by Opinium, shows“Brexit” leading by a remarkable 19 points (52% chose to leave the EU against 33% choosing to keep the status quo). This result comes after 2 polls Friday night showing a 10-point lead for “leave” which sparked anxiety across markets. This surge in “leave” probability comes despite an additional 1.5 million voters having registered this week (which many expected to increase “remain” support). Further anger towards EU was exposed when former cabinet minister Iain Duncan Smith warned thatseven new prisons will need to be built in the UK by 2030 to cope with the rising number of migrant criminals(presumedly due to ‘staying’ in the EU). With market anxiety rising, as One River’s CIO notes, if Brexit happens, gold will soar.
A NEW poll has given those wishing to leave the EU a remarkable 19-POINT lead over Remain. As The Express reports,
The Opinium Poll, commissioned by the Brexit-backing Bruges Group think tank, is further evidence that the Leave camp is gaining support and delivers the biggest margin of victory for Brexit so far, after giving voters the option of a choice of free trade agreements with the EU.It found 52 per cent chose to leave the EU, with only 33 per cent choosing to keep the status quo.Despite there being less than two weeks before the crucial referendum, on June 23, a further 15 per cent said they still didn’t know.Of those who voted to leave the majority, 39 per cent, said that Britain should have some sort of Free Trade Agreement with the EU, similar to the one currently enjoyed between the US, Canada and Mexico.
Speaking last night Robert Oulds, director of the Bruges Group, said it was important to drive home the fact that a post-Brexit Britain will have a range of options which allow trade with the European Economic Area.
