strength of the currency loosens as people holding sterling are not putting it in stocks and equity
Unless im mistaken....
When people get out of stocks and equities they convert back to the currency hence
Stock and Equity Goes up on Down Currency
but yes in this case... its a mystery why FTSE is still in green... normally a bad news like recesison would be down currency and down stocks and equities as they move to another currency for risk aversion....
We live in a finite world with infinite possibilities.
