The June 23 referendum had given markets something to talk about for months leading up to the event. Some bold predictions were made ahead of the event, essentially calling for a collapse of the British Pound in the event the exit materialized.

The weekly open last week, saw a continuation of risk sentiment and volatility, but dissipated quickly.

The USD/JPY has shifted from one extreme to another, the pair managed to gain only 24 pips in the past week, where most instruments were seen recovering against their Brexit directional bias.
