Russia, Assange, Sputnik, And The Catalan Referendum
“The Russian propaganda machine’s approach to the Catalan question is not uniform. RT’s coverage appears more balanced than that of Sputnik; Assange’s tweets were boosted by some probable pro-Kremlin bots, but these do not appear to have been the majority.”

Euro Falls After German Election Raises More Questions Than It Answers
“…most likely you will get some Swiss franc support on the back of those results.”
‘This Looks Less Market-Friendly Than Expected’: Will German Results Weigh On Euro?
To be sure, this looks like it will hit the euro in early trading. The single currency will likely knee-jerk lower against both the yen and the franc and you can expect to see a flight-to-safety bid in fixed income.
Monsters Under The Bed.
“To some extent the market’s resilience is justified; in other cases, however, it looks like a case of when rather than if potential shocks get priced in.”

‘Truman Would Have Been Appalled.’

Goldman On Gold: North Korea And ‘The True Hedge Of Last Resort’
Last night, we asked if gold might be overbought amid all the fretting over whether North Korea will or won’t pick a nuclear fight with Donald Trump (which is a lot like arming yourself with a butter knife and jabbing it into the ribs of a coked-out chimpanzee waving an M4A1 carbine).

Trump Pens Labor Day Op-Ed About ‘Turning Dreams Into Reality’ With ‘Our Own Two Hands’
“As we celebrate Labor Day, we are reminded of the inherent dignity of work and the American worker. In America, we honor grit. We honor determination. We honor craftsmanship. And we honor the men and women who turn dreams into reality with their own two hands.” “
