Many were fearful, or anticipatory, of bans on things like Amulet of Vigor, Urza's Tower, and even Blood Moon. I was personally hoping for some unbans, but we'll probably see anything like that closer to the Modern Pro Tour just to mix things up.
Financiers looks forward to B&R announcements largely because changes to formats means changes to prices. That said, a "no change" announcement doesn't have a null change on the market. Specifically, this announcement will likely lead to an increase in market confidence in the short term. Positions like foil tron lands were already paying off, but Amulet of Vigor isn't quite at the price that I would expect if people thought that the deck was long for Modern. In particular, I was shocked to see that foil copies were barely above $10. There are fewer than 50 foil copies on TCGPlayer, and I won't be surprised when we see a spike there.
