why does the brexit cause a fall in crude oil prices?
user
uncertainty has very far reaching effects.   oil is up ~100% since february and down ~40% from it's 52 week high (and down even more on a longer timeline).  it's not exactly a stable investment vehicle and moves a few percent each day on basically nothing.  a lot of securities will be bouncing around for the next couple weeks at least while folks remain uncertain about what the "brexit" will actually mean.
