The markets are reacting with a decline, but it is not as bad as the past days. Let's see what happens next, October will hopefully be calmer but I think November will be tense again.
Next week's CPI. 😊
Oh yeah right, thanks for the reminder, I'd completely forgotten about that, how tense I am now about the November Fed meeting and the continuation of that postponed debate about the next budget funding, the US debt. 😊
I'll also join in thanking you for the reminder!
I'm definitely expecting a quieter October than September, then I'm curious too.
So the results season is starting... it could be volatile again.
