Economic Journal - Thursday, 6/28/2012


(As of 10:04 am pacific)

The market is reacting negatively to the Supreme Court’s decision to uphold Obamacare under the argument of it being a tax measure.  The market looks at this as a negative in that it will cause employers to limit hiring and possibly lay off workers.  All other news is dwarfed by this huge development.  The dollar is up, while oil and gold are down.  I would expect a business as usual approach as the day wears on and that the market will recover some of its losses from what appears to be a kneejerk reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision.
