It's The Economy Stupid: Market Close

     If Congress screws messes up and the U.S. defaults on its debt, what do you think the U.S.’s FICO score would be???   And I know, the U.S. doesn’t have a FICO score.  But still…  I’m guessing it won’t be 850.  Not that it’s 850 now…

    The Dow is down to 15168, -133.25 points, -.87 percent today.  The S&P 500 is down to 1698.06, -12.08 points, -.70 percent today.  And the Wilshire 5000 Total Market Index is down to 18132, -131.71 points, -.72 percent today.

     U.S. stocks declined, snapping a four-day rally, and Treasury bill rates surged as lawmakers failed to reach an agreement to extend the government’s borrowing limit less than two days before the deadline. Oil fell and gold erased losses.  Rates on Treasury bills due Oct. 24 jumped to the highest level since the securities were sold. The Stoxx Europe 600 Index advanced 0.8 percent, rising for a fourth day in the longest winning streak in two months. Oil slid 1.2 percent while gold gained, rebounding from a three-month low.

     Senate talks aimed at ending the government shutdown and preventing a default are on hold but HAVE NOT broken down while the House considers its competing plan.  The U.S. Treasury attracted the least demand at weekly bill auctions since 2009. Manufacturing in the New York region grew at a slower pace than projected in October.
