John Stones says England 'quietly confident' of winning Euro 2016

John Stones says England are "quietly confident" of going all the way at Euro 2016. Stones was confirmed in Roy Hodgson's 23-man squad on Tuesday, but, as one of only seven specialist defenders and three full-time centre-halves in the long list, that had never been in doubt. Having only made the standby list for the World Cup in Brazil two years ago, he is one of a handful of players set to taste to tournament football for the first time, joining the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Eric Dier and 18-year-old Marcus Rashford.http://www.espnfc.com/england/story/2883855/john-stones-says-england-quietly-confident-of-winning-euro-2016

IMF says EU on brink of collapse and 'untenable' Euro may have to be SCRAPPED

THE FUTURE of euro currency and the entire EU project looks unsustainable without major change, according to a damning review by the International Monetary Fund and renowned economists. IMF chiefs warned the UK’s decision to leave the EU would seriously hamper growth prospects in the region. Before the Brexit vote, the IMF forecast a 1.7 per cent expansion for the eurozone. However, post Brexit the organisation revised that down to 1.6 per cent this year and 1.4 per cent next year. http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/687844/IMF-EU-brink-of-collapse-euro-currency-scrapped

Why The EU Will Not Collapse And How The Brexit Will Fail

The Brexit has triggered a wave of fear across global markets that it heralds the end of the European Union and such an event would have a sharp impact on financial markets and the global economy. This is because the EU, being the world's second largest economy, is responsible for generating almost 24% of global GDP and the one of the world's most important markets.http://seekingalpha.com/article/3985995-eu-will-collapse-brexit-will-fail

Economic Consequences Of Brexit

Here are my two pence on some of the consequences of Britain's vote to leave the European Union. A key goal of the EU was to allow freer movements of goods, services, and people across countries. The potential economic benefits of such freedom are well known. Access to a broader market means both buyers and sellers can secure better deals than would be available domestically. Relocation of workers to a place where they can be more productive should mean a larger size for the total economic pie.http://seekingalpha.com/article/3984455-economic-consequences-brexit

The Brexit Results: What Happened, What's Next?

Many observers were stunned on Friday when the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union (EU) by a margin of 51.9% to 48.1%. Though the Remain campaign won by comfortable margins in Scotland, London, and Northern Ireland, the Leave camp dominated elsewhere. Polling had indicated that concern about immigration was the leading motivation for likely Leave voters, while Remain supporters were more focused on the economic ramifications of a so-called Brexit. The result caught many investors off guard. Betting markets put the chance of Brexit at about one in four before yesterday's vote, and Remain had trended up in recent polls. The pound sterling rose in anticipation of a Remain victory. As the initial results came in, however, the pound reversed course and fell below $1.33, its lowest level since 1985, making Friday the currency's worst day on record.http://seekingalpha.com/article/3984461-brexit-results-happened-next

Pound to Euro exchange rate falls as Sterling hits lowest point for 30 years after Brexit vote

The British pound today dropped to its lowest level for 30 years on the back of the historic Brexit vote . After Leave won the EU Referendum overnight Sterling slid dramatically, falling sharply against the dollar and the Euro. Against the Euro, the Pound was down 6.4% to 1.2222. This will mean holidaymakers travelling to the Eurozone getting significantly less when exchanging money. The Pound was down even more against the Dollar, possibly in part due to uncertainty over the Euro itself after the UK’s leave vote.http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/pound-euro-exchange-rate-falls-11518781
