When the country puts on a big show or performs well in a world sporting event our stock goes up. I would have thought the opposite from big business if Labour were on the up. I will out of interest look I know the pound was less than today on Friday and the same with the footsie 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason for the drop in share prices and the pound on Thursday and Friday was due to, the European Central Bank and the US Federal Reserve raising bank rates on Thursday.

Stock Exchange doen't operate on weekend or bank holidays, so if you're looking for any coronation effect you'll need to wait for Tuesday.

MikeO Posted May 8, 2023 Report Share Posted May 8, 2023 The big annoyance for me is that "the palace" has decided Camilla is now queen, when Liz II explicitely said she wanted her to be queen consort (and that was a big upgrade on what she would've been). They've just snuck it through while nobody was watching; horrible woman imo, married to a horrible man.

Their argument is that the former queen, right before she died, expressed her desire that Camilla become Queen Consort - which palace officials have taken a step further. Honestly, I can't help but think of Del Trotter: "Your mother told me on her deathbed that..." MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why, but I was reminded of The Prestige when you said that - the Nolan Brothers' best film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
