I figured this am would be great with the German disaster but it's slower than a regular day.

The Fed perhaps?

Slower??
The DAX moved by a full 1% since the openâ¦

43 tick open drive up on the bund was pretty special, can't believe it opened that low and 145 half tick rally in the dax future, how much do you need!?

I disagree. It's the second biggest economy in the world and the election is a total disaster for it.

I guess our mkt's only follow it up not down.

You aren't kidding. Nothing can take this mkt down.

It might be a disaster for germany but again does little to influence macro in usa; there's no big immediate correlation.
