Debt Ceiling
While still negotiating two key things rang out from the news reports of yesterday's meetings. The first is that while talks are ongoing, and regarded as somewhat productive, they are not really that close on a deal to raise the Debt Limit. The second point which seems to have an agreement on both sides is that a default is off the table. In other words, both sides of this issue will take steps to avoid a default, even if they cannot agree on raising the debt ceiling.
What this could mean, as we have seen in the past, is a temporary suspension of the debt limit. If this is the direction taken, it will likely be a short-term event, that in reality only drags these negotiations out a bit further.
From the market standpoint, this could mean an extended period of uncertainty.
