See chart, sept/october volatility . Congress, no guts, not an ounce of integrity, get reelected at all cost, including coming up with a debt ceiling resolution, just raise it, spend it, and make it sound good, yet again. Sure we owe more than we can ever repay, but only a few with the courage to face it now, maybe before its too late. Naw, "gutless". Final result, US govt goes bankrupt, and debt gets restructured some day in the near future. And Now that Putin has stuck his nose into the NK chatter, Trump will not mess with him.
