• Putin is 'essentially trolling the US' by complimenting Trump, and the Brexit vote explains why

  24-06-2016 23:16 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump have been quite complimentary of each other during the brash billionaire's bid for the US presidency.
  First, the presumptive Republican nominee suggested in December that he'd welcome deeper relations with Russia if he won the White House. Then, the Russian president praised Trump as "very talented" and said that he was an "absolute leader of the presidential race."
  Trump responded that it was a "great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly res

  Friday was a historic day in markets after the UK's vote to leave the EU shocked global markets and sent risk assets the world over into a tailspin.
  Looking just at US markets, overnight futures cratered as S&P 500 futures went limit-down — meaning that trading was halted — after falling 5%.
  After a small bounce following the market open, US stocks slid through the afternoon and closed off the lows but with sharp losses that erased year-to-date gains for the S&P 500 and

• 3 reasons Brexit does not portend a Trump victory — and one reason to worry

  24-06-2016 20:12 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  It's tempting to look at the Brexit win and worry that it means we've underestimated Donald Trump's odds of winning the American presidential election in November.
  That leap is tempting, but wrong. Here are three reasons our election is different, and that Brexit is not a sign we have underestimated Trump:
  The polls showed Leave might win, but they consistently say Trump is losing. Lots of polls in the last month showed Leave ahead of Remain, and even the polling shift in the last week produced

  Global stocks are in meltdown mode, the pound is getting clobbered, and analysts are getting antsy about the possibility of a serious economic downturn in the UK and elsewhere.
  But while the markets may have seen violent swings in the immediate aftermath of the vote to leave, the longer-term political ramifications of a Brexit are interesting to consider, too.

• Basically, Brexit was a tantrum — what should we do about it?

  24-06-2016 19:03 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  The strangest thing about Brexit is that, of all the members of the European Union, Britain had the weakest case that it would be better off leaving.
  Britain had managed to get itself a deal where it got only the good bits of the EU — free trade and an integrated market, and free movement of people within the union — while keeping its own currency and its own passport controls. The British relationship with Europe was a model for what a slimmed-down, good-parts-only EU should have co
