A rather dull European session with very little new in play for the rest of the month. NY to come expecting more nothingness until very late in the afternoon that we may have some noise from the US political front.... {quote} I find it rather surprising the amount of interest in this vote when is very little to nothing in play from a strictly economic point of view. A bit of a typical Media made show. From outside it looks rather backwards that politicians have been talking and fighting about this for nearly 9 years and still fighting like children.......
Agree. It's a test drive of the new Washington rig. That's all. Outcome of this part is so predictable at this point (Senate is a hard stop) that it really only speaks to shaping the timeline of the parts of Trump's agenda that actually do matter to markets.
He's revealed his intentions on the Healthcare bill yesterday so that timeline got more predictable as well. Calculation seems to be: The political cost of signing a bill that will achieve none of the campaign promises (better, cheaper, etc) and boot a lot of the electorate off insurance is higher than the political cost of not repealing the ACA so he's ready to move on to the fun stuff (tax cuts and trade deals).
Thats about the whole story here I think so you are right, not much to see let alone trade.

LOL, maybe, But to process so much trading information as Sisse does is time consuming. Probably takes full working days or even more. For the trading itself dont need much time.

Actual there is marginal but more important impact if the vote Flop for Trump as it will add to the broader sense that we won't get much in the economic front for a long time ... In any case, more politics than economics and markets in this one.
....more politics than economics...exactly. Markets should be predominantly about economic conditions, but instead they are attuned to politics. Markets have always been about crowd behavior (read the classic, "Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds", etc) but the increasingly wired hive mind nature of the world means that the most emotional culture war issues that predominate modern life also dominate market behavior. Left vs. Right. Socialism vs. Capitalism. Nationalist vs Globalist. Christianism vs. Islamism. All day, every day, until war breaks out. The major market events any more are elections, not the pronouncements of CB heads. Politics is suffocating the world.

Anyway, crowd behavior is a key to understanding market fundamentals. (I'll still take luck any day, though.) Here's some good reads:

....total Art of the Deal move, just walk away if there's too much bullshit.....but what if too much bullshit is all there is & all there ever will be? Anyway, equities are sliding up & maybe they are agnostic about Health Care, just moving or sticking on the old Certainty vs. Uncertainty song. There will be a vote, deal or no deal, move on to the next deal....

seeing as its 112 I'm assuming we'll all have the funds to fly that much by then, and if so- I'm in it for Dubai. Love that place

I'll let you know how "artfully" that deal goes.

Yeah, right. Whatever happened to "The Buck Stops Here"...? - you can walk away from any real estate deal but some things you just can't walk away from.
