I don't think it'll budge much till Spring. They've factored out much of the seasonal layoffs in December- January.

what press i've read here in germany Mr. E, there is some tough love coming to Europe's center of the universe... layoff's increasing on a large scale, all sectors underperforming..i.e. worse than once believed... I am going to presume a willingness on the part of the eurolands and the central bank not to inflate their new baby might be one form of grace, along with debt levels..though that might be offset by social spending costs in comparison to TV Nation... also a rise in military spending however re: a proposal to increase the german army by an entire division and all the support that goes with it in the name of fighting terror is a spending negative one might assume.... to say the least there is nervousness... i.e. the shadow of the Weimar days has never gone away for one, and secondly, the economic performance hasn't been this bad since 1992/german reunification. between the japanese, the europeans and everyone else, who will be first to cash in their TV Nation greenstamps simply because they will need the money?
