I can't speak to the rest of the world, but in the United States I expect the stock market is vulnerable to the Republicans losing the Senate. If that happens, the rich, who have giant capital gains in the stock market, will start selling hand over fist so they can get those gains taxed at current favorable rates rather than after large tax increases that will be required to repair the U.S. government balance sheet. Same as what happened at the end of WWII. Marginal income tax rates under Eisenhower hit 92.5% or thereabouts. In this scenario the market goes much lower from here.

Liberal Americans think ignorance is bliss ==================================== Emmanuel Macron: France Will Not Engage In ‘False Rewriting Of History,’ No Statues Are Coming Down By Daily Wire News • Jun 15th, 2020 DailyWire.com • Facebook Twitter Mail Chesnot/Getty Images French President Emmanuel Macron announced on Sunday that his country would combat racism and bigotry but would not let violent rioters destroy statues or “rewrite” France’s history. “We will be inflexible when it comes to tackling racism, anti-Semitism and discrimination, and new strong decisions will be made to reinforce the egality of chances,” Macron said, according to a translation provided by TIME. “But this noble fight is perverted when it turns into communitarianism, into a false rewriting of history.” 00:29 01:16 “This is unacceptable when it is picked up by separatists. I tell you very clearly tonight my dear fellow citizens, the Republic will not erase any trace or name from its history,” Macron continued. “It will not forget any of its deeds or take down any statue. What we need to do is to look all together with lucidity on all of our history and all our memory. Our relation to Africa in particular so we can build a present and a possible future from one to the other side of Mediterranean.” WATCH: TIME ?@TIME French President Emmanuel Macron publicly disavows racism but says colonial-era statues will stayhttps://t.co/cHzRzElXwX 4,857 7:39 PM - Jun 14, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 3,148 people are talking about this As reported by Politico, Macron has come under increased pressure over the last two weeks to “bring down statues and revisit other works of art that honor French historical figures involved in slavery and France’s colonial history amid protests against police brutality and racism.” This radical movement to tear down any references to colonial history has swept other European countries, including Belgium and the U.K., where authorities have had to take measures to protect some of the nations’ monuments. “The statue of Winston Churchill in Parliament Square is a permanent reminder of his achievement in saving this country – and the whole of Europe – from a fascist and racist tyranny,” Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in a tweet. “It is absurd and shameful that this national monument should today be at risk of attack by violent protestors. Yes, he sometimes expressed opinions that were and are unacceptable to us today, but he was a hero, and he fully deserves his memorial.”
