Sterling to fall to $1.20 if Corbyn wins

The pound is in for “a rough ride” if the Conservatives lose the general election, currency traders and analysts believe, after a number of strong polls for Labour sent the currency into a tumble late last week.

Sterling could fall by another 5pc on a Labour victory, forcing the currency down to $1.20 against the dollar. The pound has not been below this level for a prolonged period at any time since the 1980s.

Against the euro the pound could fall to as low as €1.08 to $1.09, a level not seen since the depths of the financial crisis. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/201 ... rbyn-wins/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Current level v Euro: €1.10

Per CNN, Trump not ruling out military involvement in Venezuela.

So we've had air strikes v Syria, this tomfoolery with North Korea, and now Venezuela.

Glad that militarist Hillary Clinton didn't get elected. And well done to Jill Stein and all.
