No single market entry for the UK after Brexit  

It was a comparable picture in the region of the world. As investors responded to the cocktail of the concerns by plunging of the stocks for the bonds, Wall Street was down noticeably at the time of the London close. In the Germany the Dax stock Ticker Tape showed index falling down by 2.5% on the day as well as France’s Cac 40 was down 2.2%.

In a mark of all investors’ nervousness, gold prices rose up to three-week high. The valuable metal has long been observed as a secure investment in uncertain times as well as in the last week the gold has raised up to 2% to the $1,269.8 an ounce. Gold was once again the savior of a lot of investors in the market after the stock market plunged.

For the stock markets, worries regarding the 23 June referendum compounded fears of a worldwide economic slowdown, falling oil prices as well as next week’s Federal Reserve meeting on the US interest rates.

On numerous government bonds, the yields are at the present in the pessimistic territory, which denotes that the investors are officially paying for the privilege of lending to the government. It will take some time for the stock market as well as the investors to return back to normalcy and restart their business with same vigor again.

In Germany, yields on the 10-year “Bunds” went down to a fresh record low on Friday of 0.022% with an assumption that  they could hit zero and  perhaps it may even immerse into the red cordon. However, after this turmoil, the market is returning back to its regular capacity. But, even then the recovery is slow. The investors have no concern for its slow revival as they know that the trough is over and the stock market will soar again, albeit after some time.
