The pound plunged after ‘thunderbolt’ exit poll shows Britain could be heading for a hung parliament
LONDON — The British pound dropped sharply on Thursday evening after the exit poll suggested that no party will win a majority in the House of Commons after 2017’s general election.
The exit poll, which in recent elections has proved to be a fairly accurate forecast of the official result, showed Theresa May’s Conservative Party as the biggest individual party, heading for 314 seats in the House of Commons, 12 short of a majority.
Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour Party are projected to be the second party, on 266 seats. Many forecasters had predicted the Conservatives could win a majority of up to 100 seats.
Of course, the exit poll could be wrong, but investors initially took its findings as evidence that Britain is headed for a hung parliament, meaning a government will not be formed immediately, as would be the case if a majority was won.
Sterling dropped sharply on the exit poll, losing close to 2%, but by 11.20 p.m. BST (6.20 p.m. ET) it has retraced a little bit of its loss after early results from the North East of England showed a smaller swing from the Conservatives to Labour than had been forecast by the exit poll. Here’s how it looks:
The rationale behind this move is simply that markets dislike political uncertainty, so the prospect of a period without a government, particularly as the UK heads towards the beginning of formal Brexit negotiations, is not a nice one for investors.
“Sterling has fallen off a cliff after the initial exit poll. A hung parliament is the worst outcome from a markets perspective as it creates another layer of uncertainty ahead of the Brexit negotiations and chips away at what is already a short timeline to secure a deal for Britain,” Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at Oanda wrote in an email.
“GBPUSD fell more than 2 cents immediately after the exit poll and looks very vulnerable to further downside.”
“This exit poll is a thunderbolt that leaves only two outcomes realistically in play; a slender Tory majority or a hung parliament,” Samuel Tombs of Pantheon Macroeconomics wrote in an emailed statement, adding “Settle in for a long night.”
While sterling’s drop so far is substantial, it pales in comparison to its fall after Britain voted to leave the European Union last June. Here’s the chart, showing the respective drops:
Sterling also remains a little above the level it traded at prior to May calling a the election in mid-April.

ML and Finance
Dear redditers, I will be pursuing a degree in international affairs with a concentration in international finance and economics. I’m intrigued by the CS and ML world and would like to know if anyone out there works at the intersection of finance and ML. I have zero knowledge of CS but would like to have some sort of foundation before entering my graduate program. I have 2 summer months completely free. What’s the future of finance and ML and what should I do during these next 2 months? Should I just try to learn a CS language like Python?

How to Use Language to Create a Healthy Global Company
http://ift.tt/2r3g6PL
When a company experiences changes, remembering and making space for human emotions is key. That’s the principle behind change management strategies (CMS), which aim to help companies adopt new technologies, initiatives, software, or situations. One of the best ways to help workers navigate the emotions of change, in addition to ensuring that your company’s message is transmitted as clearly and completely as possible, is to conduct training in the language(s) and media that are most familiar to your employees.
Here are some tips for making your message as clear as possible and conducting effective training, which we at Venga have gained through our own experience helping global companies adopt human resources information systems (HRIS).
Consider your end-users, and structure your training around their needs
Your employees want to know how to use new technologies or how to change their work, but they aren’t necessarily interested in knowing the deeper structures behind systems. (They may already know these, or will figure them out while using the new technology.) Employees will want to know how to do tasks, so you’ll want to focus on making your training tactical and focused on solving common problems.
When thinking about your employees’ needs, you’ll also want to consider how they will best learn new material. This will likely involve…
1) Train in native languages
Why is communication in worker’s native language so important? Learning a new technology or adapting to a new initiative is difficult enough. Doing it in a new or unfamiliar language makes adapting to a change uncomfortable and unpleasant.
Here’s our take: “It is a well-accepted fact that learning in your native language is more effective. And for job-aids and tactical training, such as an Employee Self-service module, which will be used over and over by all employees, it is essential. You really want to make sure everyone follows the new procedures and avoids generating costly internal support calls or mistakes… The overall objective for the whole program is to achieve the expected benefits of the investment in a new system as quickly as possible.”
– From Venga’s HRIS System rollout eBook
2) Provide multiple avenues for training
Some people are visual learners, some learn by hearing, and others learn by doing. Most of us learn through a mixture of these. Providing various types of training media will maximize the efficacy of your training and cover the broadest possible base of your employees’ needs.
We recommend a combination of written instructions, recorded demonstrations, forums, and self-study materials, plus follow-up seminars or webinars to check on employees’ progress and provide a place for them to ask questions.
3) Translate and localize your multimedia too!
When globalizing your company’s new change, it’s important to translate and localize all training materials. We’ve typically encountered three major types of training materials: voice, presentations, and demos.
- For voice materials, replace the audio with a translated human or computer-generated voice, or add subtitles.
- In presentations, ensure that all parts of the slides are translated, and consider the cultural appropriateness of any images you’re using.
- For recorded demonstrations: create demonstrations in your employees’ native languages, ensuring that any specialized terms appear in translation and as the software uses them. For example, if a country uses English and Spanish versions of software, you’ll want to provide key terms in both languages to make crossover easy.
From our experience as a provider for HR Technology companies, we have found that localizing training materials works. Based on our client base (which consists of large and medium-size multinational companies), users of enterprise-scale HRIS/HCM systems have experienced an increase in adoption ratio of 45-65% and a reduction in the adoption timeframe from 18 months to 9 months.
