Everyone seems to be on edge in wait for the German
Constitutional Court Ruling and the results of the FOMC meeting this week,
volume was particularly muted on the US markets last night.
The German Court Ruling is the only substantial piece of
news that is due today; it would seem that their approval is priced into the
market, with most participants expecting that the court will allow the ECB
action to proceed. Should the court rule adversely, we can expect substantial volatility
with increased downside risk in the near term.
