September is guaranteed to be packed with drama for the markets wall of worry. As if Syrian tensions weren't scary enough. Reuters outlines, not only will non-farm payrolls be highly important (will the Fed taper or no based on it) but German elections, Abe's 3rd phase of economic policy and of course, Obama's nomination for the next Fed Chairman. (yes I'm completely ignoring the debt ceiling as a concern because it's not)
A few months back, it was Janet Yellen everyone felt would replace good old Ben Bernanke as the next Federal Reserve Chairman however as September nears, it's Larry Summers who has pulled away from the pack as the 5/2 odds on favorite, at least according to PaddyPower.
Not being particularly interested in his resume bur rather what his views were on monetary policy and the like, I pulled these quotes from ft.com which should lend insight into Mr. Summer's beliefs on QE and Fed intervention. Clearly he's slightly more hawkish when it comes to the use of QE.
