In mid-June, U.S. stocks approached their 52-week highs as market participants widely expected that on June 23, 2016 Britain’s electorate would vote to remain in the European Union. In overnight trading following the referendum, U.S. stock market futures collapsed as vote counts showed a surprising move in the opposite direction. Wall Street indices traded more than 3% lower on June 24, 2016 with the DJIA dropping 655 points, its worst daily drop in 10 months.

Britain’s vote to leave the European Union surprised investors though the sharp rebound in stocks since then was probably a greater shock. Capital markets have gone to where investors thought they would go if there was a Remain vote. Although economists and investors got it wrong how quickly capital markets shrugged the Brexit off and entered a subsequent recovery a lot of questions remain unanswered.

Liam will give the audience a deep insight into the drivers and dynamics of the Brexit decision, he will give guidance where Great Britain and the European Union will go from here in terms of their Brexit negotiators, and what it means for the people and the economy in the United Kingdom as well as the impact on the European and global economy.
