Its been removed from republican websites but Trump was proud to initiate and sign his historic peace deal with the Taliban but just as with his mate in Korea he achieved zero other than publicity.Until this week his criticism of Biden was that he wanted tonwithdraw sooner!So Trump policy with full republican backing. Espervwas sacked by Trump because he stated that we were withdrawing troops even though the Taliban had not honoured their part of the Trumo agreement in any way.Personally not that enamoured with Trump or Biden but Trump and Qanon hsve a lot in common.
Sea of refugees will impact the market very soon...
don't give important to Taliban they are Terris
So ... the situation in Afghanistan will likely have no direct impact on markets, but a possible indirect effect if Biden subsequently loses the support of Congress…is that a fair summary? };0)
what do we export to or import from, Afghanistan?
The top exports of Afghanistan are Gold ($968M), Grapes ($214M), Insect Resins ($129M). The top imports of Afghanistan are Wheat Flours ($436M), Broadcasting Equipment($336M), Refined Petroleum ($325M).

Hope it helped Lucy - thanks for watching!
Politicians sacrificing innocent lives to effect stock prices, same old democrats!
Do you actually remember which US president (hint: he’s republican) decided to sign a capitulation to Talibans last year?
Shouldnt have an impact but a lot of investors/so called experts and pundits are looking fir any news to point to a downturn in the markets and economy.I think it would be very naive to state that it will have no effect.Im sure if olinwas at threat governmrnts would react differently.Whatever happens there is a complete disconect between the markets and the economy and the hsves and have nots and we have to thank Trimp for that.The simple fact is that regardless of the Feds actions there is no way the economy can perform as the markets have expected.
If all the closing and real bad news didn't had any effect, why would Taliban matter? It's even good news, now china Russia will have good trading with Taliban and good economy news about china means even more up in Europe and US. Let's pump that bubble....
How poor American troops you can imagin now! It seems Taliban are more strong than the American troops. They fear and left the country like they run for their life .! What a Shame! Now this country remaim under terroris control !
market will crash tomorrow specially banknifty
Nope. Only chinese news will impact the market.
No impact as it is not overnight news every one knows it will happen one day when us army starting come back
