As we get closer to the EU referendum, markets are getting more and more nervous. A month ago it looked quite likely the referendum would result in a “remain” vote. However, recent opinion polls have changed direction and now many polls put the leave camp ahead.

In our roundup this week, we report on a new poll suggesting increasing momentum for Brexit, as well as warnings that low income families could lose out should Britain decide to leave the EU. We also bring news of revenue growth for retailer Ted Baker and a new energy bill safety net proposed by Ofgem.

This week the upcoming EU referendum continues to dominate the headlines. We also bring news of a global stocks rally, a slowdown in house prices and a warning to British first-time buyers.
