Global investors are preparing for another day of huge changes in the value of sterling volatility.

Exchange bureaus are however marking down sterling even lower, well below parity with the dollar, after taking their own commissions and fees into account.

The value of sterling is expected to parity with the US dollar by the of November, and then fall to just $0.97, according to the latest forecast from bank Nomura.
