Elections in Iraq on the 31st. There's something like 100+ candidates... so what if someone wins with 7% of the vote? The other 93% will not support the winner since they didn't vote for them.
Plus, I'd lay odds the winner won't survive more than 2 weeks given the way they're killing off the candidates.
I don't think the elections are meaningful for US markets because nothing will really change after they're over and I expect most people in the US feel that way.
