What time US opens?

2.30pm UK time.

Not that it really matters. This was always on the cards in the case of a out vote as the markets had priced in a remain (hence the rise in GBPv$ in the last few days and the market rally) as the one thing markets hate most is a shock. Shocks usually play out by over reaction one way, recovery, a bit more down and then a bit up as things find a new equilibrium. What you need to remember is that the GBP was 1.40ish last week and frankly if it had moved to 1.38 without any BREXIT no one would have blinked.

Everyone should just stay calm because unless you're trading short term a knee jerk reaction is often the worst possible move.

We have loads of 10 series stock but everyone buys on credit unless they are a **** kicker and can't get credit. So all places with stock will increase prices if pound weakens more as they would not have paid for the stock yet and it's only 8am so most places are not open yet so cannot make adjustments.

We are holding off unless rate goes sub 1.35

I have been sat here with buckets of popcorn with multiple forum & web store windows open for all most a month now waiting for cards to arrive i now have to keep an eye on the exchange rate too yet another window open ....What is going on

Who would have thought that buying a Gfx card would be so demanding

:)

I just want to play game's

If the pound is back where it was, then is the price rise today still going ahead? It would be pretty shady if it does. I understand it looked grim this morning but it seems to be stabilizing now.
 
Lol, the prices all going up, knew i should have placed the order this am. O well, more waiting.

700 quid by the end of the day for a card that should really cost about 450-499.

Sorry OCUK, no one will be placing any orders from now.

Wow the card i have on preorder has gone from £579 to £608. Quite the increase given the pound is going back up (currently £1.38996 i think?)

EDIT Scratch that £1.39310 now

it already has - the palit was 599 this morning, now 630 and that is even with Gibbo saying no price rises until 3pm, added to the fact that the pound is 2% of where it was yesterday...

the pound might have another wobble later today when the US markets open, but it has been at 1.42 for weeks on the fear of a no vote, so most of the value position was already priced in to the market, some people will have a big sell off but then it'll bounce back

I'm actually taking advantage when it dips and trying to get some money back in to the UK from a couple of overseas investments

Yes we shall only move sooner if rate goes sub 1.35 and if it recovers to over 1.40 then we can maybe hold off or increases will be minor.

It's out of our hands.
