Quel que soit le discours sur la « reprise » économique, la pauvreté, le chômage perpétuel, des niveaux d'endettement extrêmes imprègnent la société américaine. Une étude récente a brossé un portrait peu reluisant de conditions rappelant, dans une grande partie du pays, celles existant dans le « tiers monde ».

But talk to some traders and they’ll tell you they expect all indices to hold to gains made earlier in the year, though the fiscal cliff remains the top concern for the market.
