- S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:SPY) futures are down 0.65%, DJIA (NYSEARCA:DIA) by 0.7%, and Nasdaq 100 (NASDAQ:QQQ) by 0.6% as the left-wing, anti-austerity Syriza party takes power in Greece. Looking like it's going to wind up with about half the seats in parliament, Syriza has just cut a deal with the small, right-wing Independent Greeks party to form a coalition government.
- The two share little in common except for opposition of the austerity measures imposed on Greece by the Troika.
- German Dax (NYSEARCA:EWG) futures are lower by 0.9%, France (NYSEARCA:EWQ) by 0.8%, and the U.K. (NYSEARCA:EWU) by 0.6%.
- The euro (NYSEARCA:FXE) sunk to as low as $1.1099 in early trade this evening, but is currently off just 0.3% to $1.1171.
