The market ends, not just suspends when the next Presidents 1st term ends. The importance of the negotiations aren't really important for the market. We're just asking if you predict face to face negotiations will occur. To the spelling of the name, Reuters spells the name the way I did, but I know that the spelling of his name is confounded by different translations. I think this spelling gets the phonetic point across though.
