FYI: The latest Washington budget fight is not likely to lead to a government shutdown. That’s the good news. Because between Japan’s recession, careering oil prices, the infighting at the ECB, China’s flagging economy, to say nothing of war in Syria or Vladimir Putin’s territorial ambitions, the last thing the capital markets need is another showdown in Washington, D.C.
