: TalkLeftWall St.: Bank Stocks, Bonds Tumble
By Jeralyn
Bank stocks and bonds fell sharply today, despite Obama's inauguration. More from Bloomberg News:
Barack Obama became the 44th U.S. president today, inheriting the most severe economic crisis since Franklin D. Roosevelt was sworn in 76 years ago. The turmoil has dragged the world’s largest economies into recession, caused more than $1 trillion of losses at financial institutions and prompted a sell-off in global stock markets.
Treasuries fell for a second day on speculation Obama will sell record amounts of debt to battle the recession. The dollar strengthened for a second day against the euro.
Tough times ahead, even for those of us who see the sun coming out.
