Summary
A frustrating day..and indeed..the week.
We remain trapped within a tight trading range, Bulls seeking >1423...bears.... <1398. A break of either, will probably open up at least a 2-3% move in each direction.
What remains remarkable..there is absolutely NO sign of an agreement to delay (partly or wholly) any of the fiscal cliff changes.
Unless something changes, Mr Market will have to imminently price in Q1 2013 GDP -2 to -4% recession. Or maybe that's bullish?
