It would appear - in a similar vein to last night's White House exit - the stock market is a little disappointed that Democrats and Republicans did not come out holding hands. Instead, we get the usual maybe good, maybe bad statements:
- SENATOR ORRIN HATCH SAYS OBAMA EXPRESSED CONCERNS OVER DURATION OF HOUSE REPUBLICAN DEBT LIMIT PLAN (well that's 'bad' news for a deal), but
- *OBAMA DIDN'T REJECT MEDICAL DEVICE TAX REPEAL, HATCH SAYS (well that's good news for a deal)
For now the Dow is 30 points off its highs on this lack of news.
US Senate Republicans call meeting with Obama productive, but say no deal reached on debt-limit of government shutdown.
