World Financial Markets lost 2 trillion dollars on June 24th 2016

Financial markets reacted negatively to the outcome. Investors lost more than the equivalent of 2 trillion United States dollars on 24 June 2016, making it the worst single day loss in history.[19] Stock markets around the world crashed.[20] The value of the pound sterling fell to a 31-year low.[21]

 Here we have a most profound demonstration of how world Markets hate uncertainty. They believed "erroneously" that Brexit would not pass so when it did it became the biggest single day loss of 2 trillion dollars in World History worldwide.

Hopefully, there will not be any other days like this soon.
