He says: “Many predicted that tomorrow would be the big day for any movement in the pound. However, it has already reached three-month lows against the euro and, depending on whether the vote tomorrow goes ahead, could hit lows last seen against the dollar in August.”
Sterling extends drop on Brexit vote speculation
The pound is now down 0.27% against the dollar at $1.2698.
