The exit polls say it’s neck and neck, but currency traders bet that Scotland will reject independence, as the British pound sterling hit a two-year high against the euro today. The pound gained a third of a per cent to trade at 1.2687 euros – the highest level since April 2012.[1]
The ZEMA graph in this example demonstrates the pound’s recovery against the euro in the past 48 hours. This data is taken from the Bank of Canada’s foreign exchange report.
