| The vote to leave the EU sent the pound to its lowest level since 1985 on Friday and at one point wiped £120bn off the value of Britain’s leading shares. Credit ratings agency Standard and Poor’s warned that Britain’s AAA credit rating was at risk, and Moody’s cut its outlook on the UK’s long-term debt from stable to negative. Estimates on Friday night said Brexit had wiped out over $2tn of value on markets worldwide. | The vote to leave the EU sent the pound to its lowest level since 1985 on Friday and at one point wiped £120bn off the value of Britain’s leading shares.
