Futures slump after U.S. kills top Iranian commander
"(Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures shed about 1% on Friday after a U.S. air strike in Iraq killed a top Iranian commander, sharply escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and denting risk appetite."
Did Trump just insure his re-election? No way Iran keeps quiet after this. The nuclear deal is off. Iran will do something for sure. US will go to war.
Everyone's retirement will be effed because of Artificial Idiocy. I always thought it would be Artificial Intelligence causing falling wages that would do it. I have another child fixing to go to college next year.
PS - probably should be changed to OT discussion (if possible)
Vintage, I selected 'Fund Discussions' because I felt that issues which affected 'futures' might have an effect on funds. I suppose one could say that many similar posts here could go either way. My intent was not to draw attention to politics or war or insanity although I could easily see how one could veer off the path.
