The Russians boosted the stock market ruining Krugman’s promise of a never ending crash after Trump won.
I watched the futures market closely in the overnight hours after Election Day. It was a beautiful thing. In the early hours after midnight, when Hillary! was building what seemed to be an insurmountable Electoral College lead (given the widespread belief in a Midwestern “blue wall”), the Dow futures plunged 700 points. Once Trump won Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina (states which the media expected to go for Hillary!), the Dow futures abruptly reversed and the Dow rose by 600 points the next day. This was a 1300 point turnaround in the space of 14 hours.
