Next up: headline risk and a push for Bernanke to print more. Why? Because when all is said and done the market will have plunged (even more) on the realization there is no fiscal stimulus coming in the next two years, despite the Chairman's clever gambit.

With aid to victims of natural disasters running out, the Democratic-controlled U.S. Senate on Friday rejected a broad spending bill that had passed the Republican-controlled House of Representatives hours earlier.

As voting continued on the measure, Democrats had rounded up enough votes to defeat the bill, which would replenish dwindling disaster-aid funds and ensure the government can continue to operate past Sept. 30, the end of the fiscal year.
