Odd. At this time, no other news outlet mentions anything about this. One would think that this is a significant development. Futures currently closed but, SPY = 243.53 down ~1.00 from close QQQ = 141.80 down ~0.55 from close
I think the markets are getting callous to it. Every time there was a terror attack, the markets would swoon. It got to the point where they don't even register it any more.
I got news for you, the markets get that NK is getting nuclear weapon that can reach America. The markets will yawn, maybe down 10-15 handles.. Trump will come out and draw a new red line, and Un will spit on it again.
There is a difference between terrorism and geopolitical unrest with the potential of war. We'll see. I tend to agree with you that this may be another shrugged off event, but it would be nice to get some more volatility. Today was such a boring day--went for a 40 km bike ride and went for a swim. I'd like some action on the screen once in a while.
Predicting an Emergency Meeting at the UN TONIGHT. Must watch TV. If the language is an ultimatum with the Vinson strike group getting an aggressive stance, then I think SIFs get crushed. If it is more bullshit talk, SIFs will go green by EOD.
