It’s now 69% only for Remain according to bookmakers.
Looks like stops were triggered on GBP/USD – the falls are not that big on EUR/USD and others.
Leave is currently in the lead with 51% against 49%. This is according to 5 out of 382 areas reporting. It’s a long night.
And after the big collapse, we are back to 1.4555, around 250 pips from the swing low of 1.4286.
