Brexit it is. 101 yen to US dollar
...these times call for more solidarity and cooperation rather than nationalism and separatism ...
Time to make a shopping list of English custom makers...
It was down to 99, but seems it recovered a bit. Gotta wonder how much lower it'll go when the u.s. wakes up, though. Although, from the Guardian:101 yen to US dollar
Japan's finance minister 'very concerned'
Japans finance minister, Taro Aso has said he is very concerned about the world economy after Japan and other Asian markets suffered a day of turmoil in reaction to the Brexit vote.
Aso declined to say if financial authorities would intervene in currency markets after the dollar and pound plummeted against the yen, and the Nikkei 225 benchmark index shed more than 7% by early afternoon local time.
and not just in the EU.
Devon,
I would not be worried about the import duties - I expect that involved economical agreements (that are still to be made) between UK and EU and I expect that duty free contact will remain.
I was just reading today that if UK wants to stay in European trading area (or what it is officially called anyway) they will need to keep the same rules as now in EU: free movement of labor and obeying EU laws... So what will then change fro them?
Russia just built the worlds largest ice breaker that will open new shipping lanes in the Arctic
UK Boots EU, New deals coming up.
Forced immigration, terrorism and rising nationalism.
But best of all: Trump/Hillary cage match.
Fun times to come for sure.

Yup. Wholeheartedly.Fully agree wholeheartedly!Lucretia said:and not just in the EU.
Exactly. People can't always be relied on to be the wisest. (Consider trends this year on the other side of the Atlantic).
My husband is retiring today and we're about to start living off our 401(k). Just in time for the markets to collapse.
:curse:
I see this as a prime example of why the majority shouldn't always rule. Yesterday my IRA was almost back to its highest value from last year. Now it will probably take another year to recover from this.
Good luck to the Brits. I hope this works out like they believe it will.
