Undecided voters see Brexit making them worse off: survey

LONDON - Britons still undecided on how they will vote in a referendum on EU membership think they would be 71 pounds ($103) a year worse off if Britain quits the bloc, a survey said, suggesting the "Leave" camp faces a bigger challenge than the "Remain" side.

Undecided voters, on average, estimated that households would be 181 pounds worse off per annum five years after a vote to leave the EU, compared with a hit of 110 pounds if Britain decided to stay, the survey showed.

Eighteen percent of the 3,000 respondents polled by market research firm Opinium and the European Centre for Research in Electoral Psychology at the London School of Economics said they did not know how they would vote in the June 23 referendum.

A quarter of those who have not made up their minds think that British households will be worse off after a vote to leave, compared with 17 percent who think they would be worse off if Britain stays in the bloc, the poll showed.

What Abe has is not an economic plan, its just the common central bank stimulus which by now is proven to be a short term bandage. Significant financial reforms and debt reduction is needed long term. 

Gold / Yen and USD are going to have a good run this month. 

And when UK votes to stay in EU we are going to see a big rebound in pound.

China slowdown still is the major deciding factor and many have failed to notice the Yuan is being devalued slowly these past few months, very sneaky.

Global central banks are preparing for the Brexit...

Global central banks prepare swap facilities for Brexit vote
15 Jun 2016 00:01
[FRANKFURT] Central banks around the globe are preparing financial backstops to mitigate market turmoil in case Britons vote next week to leave the European Union, hoping to buffer the real economy from any short-term impact.

Operating with so-called swap lines, the world's biggest central banks stand ready to temporarily exchange currencies in potentially unlimited quantities if financial market disruption leaves banks and exporters short of foreign currency.

Policymakers fear that a British vote on June 23 to leave the 28-nation EU, known as 'Brexit', could trigger an exodus of cash from Britain, paralysing currency markets and weighing immediately on growth if firms cannot gain access to foreign currency needed for their day to day business.

With "everyone" ready, it seems like it is no longer any "Black Swan".

I am registered to vote. I vote "Remain". Anyone based in the UK as well?

I am predicting likely no brexit, but secretly hoping for brexit so markets big dip and present some buying opportunities.

Perhaps the brexit happening could be the trigger for the next GFC. since draghi ecb already no more bullet liao.

Then maybe this crash will cause recession in usa and trump take over.

Of course followed by a spectacular crash in china credit markets.

Soros seems to be Spot On for now....
