It's The Economy Stupid: Market Close

Thin volume plus breaking news makes market move.  In today’s case, market volume was very thin and then John Kerry had a news briefing on Syria’s use of chemical weapons, and the stock markets were pushed lower.  Thin volume, market was up, Kerry speaks, market drops.  Pretty simple. Oh, and the U.S. Treasury is going to hit the debt limit in mid-October.
