Markets improving some good news

[jaxie]

Today the FTSE 100 is up more than 2% and is now above its level for all of June save referendum day.
The FTSE 250 - a better barometer of British business health - is up nearly 2%, though still significantly lower than it was on referendum day, its highest for the year, when many market participants believed Remain would win on 23 June.
Government borrowing costs are falling.
And sterling has stabilised.

According to the beeb the markets are starting to improve. I thought it would be nice to share some good news for a change.

[Cherie]

Very welcome

[jaxie]

Also saw this which is also good news.

The claim: The damage done to the economy has already been many times the value of the UK's contribution to the EU Budget.

Reality Check verdict: There may already have been an impact on the economy or the public finances but we do not yet have data showing that. The indicative cost of borrowing for the government has actually fallen.

[bots]

Yes, it is a bit of good news. We will just have to wait and see. I'm glad there was no rush to make our leaving official, that would have given the markets a fright.

It's not really the area I work in, I make the characters and buildings and scenery but if I hear anything I'll let you know.

[Tom4784]

Good news but the upturn will only be temporary. I imagine it'll tank again as we get closer to the actual leave date.

The markets will settle as long as there is continuity, it is now as secure as it can be, that this Article 50, if it ever gets activated, is not likely to be done until late this year or even not until next year.

The instant action expected has not come about because none of the leave leaders, had any idea how to go about this and had no plan to execute immediately.
Sterling has suffered but it is now clear that it will be years before we are out the EU now.

Also the Bank of England has made available £250billion to help the economy and to stave off any banking crisis.
That gives assurances that short term nothing is to change, so of course that will be reflected in the markets.

Wait until the deals are being negotiated and what hiccups or obstacles then may need to be got over, that is f they can, that is when the real test comes not now, as at this point, nothing has changed other than the vote.

One Swallow does not make a Summer, there is a very long and tricky, obstacle filled road to go down yet, when and if Article 50 is triggered.

No, I actually possibly advise my Parents more than vice versa it seems now,when I see them that is, as they spend more time in Rome now than the UK.

Yes I am.

No I do not want to do any work with the civil service thank you.

That all looks like an absolute mountain of work to get through and all extremely time consuming too.

...ain't that the truth, Jaxie...this last week really has felt like September already.../such a long one...

[joeysteele]

I do not want to be a doomwatch here as I do not want the UK to do badly on anything.

However of the ftse100 which has clawed back,75% of its business are outside the UK therefore a weaker time for sterling is actually good for them.

You may find a different story on the ftse 250 which is better barometer of how things are going and it is not doing so well.

Any good news of course has to be good news but only if it really is so however.

It says in the article that the FTSE 250 has also risen not as much as it fell yet but coming back up is a good sign and the pound has risen a little against the dollar.

[Crimson Dynamo]

the FTSE 250 is a far better measure

[the truth]

ftse is now 3% from where it started on brexit day, ftse250 is up 270....overall its about 4% down since brexit pound still down 13.5%
