Good afternoon. Thank you so much for being here. Congressman jordan and i just left a meeting with the vicepresident and he has assured us that as we look to make this better on behalf of the American People, that the bill that was introduced last night is still open for negotiation and certainly for modification and we took that as very encouraging news, not because of any particular position that we have but because its good news for the American People.

A 60 losing streak, the longest since november. Kicking off this big week for Central Banks, our guests. To me, the big question is 2018. It shows the possible rate hikes the markets are expecting. For 2018, we are just over to michael. What is it going to take for the fed to move that line . Its going to take more clarity on the fiscal front. An interesting disconnect is it being pulled up on fiscal but not expecting th
