a 1.5%-2% move is not really much these days. They are focusing over changes in the market in the last few days, ignoring that in the context of the last year+, it is trivial.

For example, the Dow was at 15,370 in January, and is trading at 17,163 today after being "slammed". The situation in the EU is important and has ramifications, but context is important.
