futures interesting, minus 8.2 on SPX and minus 20 on NDX100 at this hour BUT Asia was mixed and non-dramatic. But now note hong kong was closed and on seeing no new quotes on FTSE and DAX and others it seems europe is closed also today. So futures will be without a european lead in--hmmm. BTW, am i right in surmising Europe take easter monday off? max

Well, I think many may begin to see Bush's view on Iraq for what it could well be, a ploy to keep Americans in fear until the congressional elections in order to sweep in more Republicans into congress. Once Americans felt safe again and went on to domestic issues, 41's popularity dropped. 43 (possibly with Carl Rove's help) may be keenly aware of that. The Europeans are seeing the steel tariff that way, and are retaliating by proposing tariffs that hurt important swing states (Florida OJ, for example). The instability may affect the market as well as the recovery.
