We can assume Manchin knew his remarks yesterday would cause turmoil in the markets today (perhaps he even anticipated that Goldman would downgrade projected 2022 US GDP as well).
Anyone who knew on Friday what Manchin was going to say on Sunday could have made a nice windfall today
Its a fair question.
