Traders Get Ready for the 'Fiscal Cliff' Slugfest




From CNBC: The early economic impact of Super Storm Sandy could start to show up in the coming week’s data, while investors remain riveted by Washington’s new urgency to fix the “fiscal cliff.

The week will start off slowly, with bond markets closed for Veteran’s Day Monday.  Congress returns Tuesday, and President Barack Obama holds meetings with Congressional leaders at the White House during the week, in an effort to find common ground on the fiscal cliff.
“We’re going to have a lot of uncertainty about this, whether they’re going to push out the cliff or come together quickly and talk about some type of longer term scheme that looks like it’s dealing with the debt and deficits,” said Stuart Freeman, chief U.S. equity strategist with Wells Fargo Advisors. “If that happened, of course the market would love that. But I’d assume we’ll see some brinkmanship here. No one wants to crater first.”
