This could potentially turn into HMG taking exceptional measures to block transactions even when the target isn’t considered to be of strategic national or security interest. I think there’s a bit of a Trojan horse danger here - especially from countries where strategic motives are less than straightforward. The world is going to look very different on the other side of this.
I hear you on the bandwidth front too - the liquidity situation is pushing my team right now - the markets we cover are in a spot, and it’s very much all hands to the pump.

Futures are not looking too much down before trading. I wonder whether it has been priced in, speaking on a serious note.

Personally I think investors believe the Fed and US government will do whatever it takes and so worrying is not yet necessary.

How far is $1200 going to go if you’re without a job, but unlike the big companies that are getting bailed out, you’re still expected to pay your bills on time or risk losing your home?
