New York, NY…The Dow bounced just a bit off it’s low before settling again before the bell to close down 610 points on the day. The drop was precipitated by the United Kingdom voting to exit from the European Union. The breakup my take up to two years but the initial financial shock was reflected today. On some financial indicators Britain is performing better than the EU in general.

The big story on how the financial effects from the vote will shake out will come on Monday as the world markets start the business week after the vote.
