Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist
The news out of Europe remained bleak. G-8 leaders committed “to take all necessary steps” to strengthen and reinvigorate their economies, but recognized that “the right measures are not the same for each of us.” A few days later, European Union leaders could not agree on a course of action.
