Mr. Gerry Rice, Director of External Relations at the International Monetary Fund commented on U.S. 'fiscal cliff measures: “However, more remains to be done to put U.S. public finances back on a sustainable path without harming the still fragile recovery. Specifically, a comprehensive plan that ensures both higher revenues and containment of entitlement spending over the medium term should be approved as soon as possible. In addition, it is crucial to raise the debt ceiling expeditiously and remove remaining uncertainties about the spending sequester and expiring appropriation bills.” Reference Link |

A bit over a half hour into the session, the Dow is down 12 points, the Nasdaq is up 4 points and the S&P is virtually unchanged. |
