		cm2187 on June 24, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: UK votes to leave EU To those who think the UK will be hurt more than the EU, I find it interesting that the FTSE (-8.4%) is down less than the DAX (-9.5%) http://www.bloomberg.com/markets/stocks Obviously if you compound that with the pound losing 10% a FTSE investor is worse off. But my boss has met many investors recently and his feedback was that more investors were concerned for the future of the EU rather than the future of the UK.

The FTSE 100 is mostly companies trading globally, often just being listed in the UK.

The FTSE 250 is probably more representative of UK business as a whole and that is down more today.
