With the Fed decision just one day away, followed the very next day by the increasingly more irrational BOJ, stocks had no desire to make significant moves and overnight's boring session was the result, as European stocks and U.S. index futures rose modestly but mostly hugged the flatline while Asian declined 0.2% for a third day as raw-material shares declined and Tokyo equities slumped before central bank meetings in the U.S. and Japan this week. China’s stocks rose the most in almost two weeks, up 0.6% but failed to rise above 3000 on the Shanghai Composite, in thin trading.

Former U.S. Representative Ron Paul has warned that the special U.S.-Saudi Arabia relationship is about to come to an abrupt end once the secret 28 pages of the 9/11 Report are released to the public. The report will show the Saudi regime’s involvement on 9/11, which is something the public and government will never be able to forgive. Ron Paul says that for decades the US and Saudi Arabia have enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship whereby the Saudis sell cheap oil to America in exchange for U.S. protection of the Saudi monarchy.
