ABSTRACT: The unresolved–though perhaps improving–crises in the euro area on the Greek and Ukrainian fronts left markets uncertain, and thus volatile, this week. Besides silver, which recovered some strength, precious metals fell sharply in an up-and-down string of trading sessions. Meanwhile, equities on both sides of the Atlantic rallied toward recent highs.
GOVERNMENT & POLICY
Despite Backlash, Netanyahu To Receive Congressional “Meddle” of Honor
When it seems every news story of international concern is focused on the myriad problems plaguing Europe, the United States government now finds itself in a cross-border political controversy of an entirely different kind. The headlines in both the U.S. and Israel are being dominated by the mostly unpopular move by Republican leadership to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to speak to the two chambers of the legislature about the potential nuclear deal the White House is trying to strike with long-time adversary Iran.
Netanyahu’s address to Congress is scheduled for the 3rd of March, only two weeks ahead of Israeli elections–in which the prime minister’s party is in a neck-and-neck contest. The ulterior motives for the Israeli leader, who is affectionately known to some as “Bibi,” have become glaringly clear: If Netanyahu appeals to his country’s most steadfast ally to warn against the Iranian agreement currently being negotiated, it could give him and his Likud Party the nationalistic boost needed to push them over the hump in the elections.
