Re: Sunday Afternoon Open Thread (none / 0)

Ok so the markets rallied on the back of rumours that this was going to happen. if various politicians decide this just isn't going to happen will we see further failure on Monday?

Depends. What I outlined above on what I think is likely to happen, give or take a bit here and there, will probably leave the markets a disappointed, since they'd love for us to give away the store, but it shouldn't have any giant negative effect.

If, however, nothing happens, then we're back to where we were on Tuesday, and I think the downward trend will continue.

Maybe not on monday, but the longer the legislation is delayed the more likely a crash is.
