With deadline approaching, any announcement or outcome of the Super Committee in U.S. Congress on spending cuts could significantly impact the financial markets in this coming week. Currently any technical analysis about the markets can be easily overridden by political battles on U.S. federal deficits that have a dominant power to shape political and economic landscape heading into a volatile election year. No market update this week.
