Violence and Volatility: Global Outlook Wk of 19 Aug '13

Social Mood patterns indicate a spike in factors related to violence and volatility.  This pattern signals even more global violence and instability in the next few days.  Markets continue to look shaky as the week begins.  To add to the uncertainty, a short term trend change is near.


Update 8/23/2013:  There definitely was a spike in global violence, with the primary example being the Syria chemical attack and the possible counterattacks currently on the table. In the markets, there was at least a short term trend change as the markets continued down into mid-day Wednesday and then climbed through Friday.
