Sterling tumbled as much as 9.5 percent, the euro slid by the most since it was introduced in 1999 and the yen surged to its strongest level since 2013. South Africa’s rand led losses among the currencies of commodity-exporting nations, sliding more than 5 percent as oil sank below $48 a barrel and industrial metals slumped. Gold soared with U.S. Treasuries as investors piled into haven assets. Futures on the FTSE 100 Index plunged with S&P 500 Index contracts as benchmark stock gauges slid across Asia.
