The NFP came out much worse than expected on Friday, (Oct 3rd : Actual −159 K vs Forecast −85 K) while U.S. unemployment rate reminded at 6.1 % the worst last 5 years. Ahead of the vote for the Bailout plan, the market reactions seemed limited. Well, the U.S. Job data might have been "not so bad" as some analysts expected. we have been seeing these turbulent times that we have never experienced before. Fannie Mae,Lehman Brothers, AIG, Merrill Lynch, Washington Mutual.
These big names have either gone to ruin entirely, or discontinued to exist as independent firms.
The bailout plan was be passed in the Senate. We are now waiting for a decision of the lower House (at 12:30 GMT Oct 3rd). We keep an eye open to any economic news coming.
On schedule for the next week, we have many significant events to follow. Alright! Let's review them all.
