☆ We're pulling out the 2011 market playbook to navigate the current debt-ceiling debacle
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-02 | by ( Kevin Stankiewicz | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +5 min

The looming U.S. debt-ceiling crisis has ignited a new wave of uncertainty in the market this week, with all three major benchmarks under pressure Tuesday.

Nonetheless, stocks mounted a recovery in the fall of 2011, with the S & P 500 finishing the year essentially flat. We expect the current crisis to ultimately yield a similar result — both in terms of a political resolution and a buying opportunity in the interim.
