The British pound is getting slammed.
The currency is down 0.9% at 1.4141 against the dollar amid ongoing Brexit worries.
On Monday, a poll conducted by ICM on behalf of the Guardian showed 53% for Leave and 47% for Remain.
Plus, the Sun, which has the largest circulation of any physical newspaper in British, has come out in favor of a Brexit. It should be noted the Sun has a great track record in general elections, and has always backed the winner.
Separately, consumer prices in Britain rose 0.3% year-over-year in May, which was unchanged from April, and just shy of the 0.4% gain that was expected.
