Meandering Markets ahead of Debt Vote and Data Releases
- A very quiet start to the week with US, UK and a number of markets across Europe all closed for respective holidays.
- That left the remaining markets that were open with little in the way of drivers to trade off.
- The focus for market remains the passage of the recent debt ceiling agreement though congress over the next couple of days.
- Should the agreement to suspend the debt ceiling until 2025 after the next election get up we could see a boost to sentiment follow.
