No - we've had all the end of quarter reports already and they made the stock market sink. Its more likely to be the prospect of a long and expensive war combined with expensive and ineffective aid to counteract some of the effects of said war finally combined with the sudden expenses of overenthusiastic security kneejerking. This makes investors scared and investors don't like to risk their money any more than they have to or can be fooled into by a huge stock bubble.
