"Morning Memo" begins below this "NOTE for NEWCOMERS" to "Morning Memo"...... Each
morning, we post a short bullet-point list of noteworthy events,
data, etc that find their way into the assessment of global markets.
It's far from complete and is not meant to be an exhaustive
reconciliation of all things that could possibly impact stocks, bonds,
currencies and commodities! Rather, it's best viewed as a cryptic memo
of "highlights", noteworthy items that took place in Asia, European and
US hours.....and color-coded 'Red' for seemingly negative impact on equity markets, 'Green' for positive.
This will also serve as a useful review mechanism, as scrolling through the series of "Morning Memo" posts over time ought to summarily highlight what generally drove price action.
We hope you find this useful and informative....and as always, that you'll share feedback!!

- Of interest:
- Despite the recent bi-partisan two-year budget deal, it's probably good to remember the following in terms of potential fiscal policy risks:
