Cable plunges. Down 100 pips in seconds

Flash crash in the pound

It fell more than 100 pips in a flash.

This is a one-second chart. It shows that the entire move took 12 seconds.

Update: No good reason has emerged for this. Maybe it was a fat finger. Maybe it was just the precursor to the Comey story. There is nothing remotely definitive out there.
