๐Ÿ”ธ Update on the U.S. Government Shutdown Dear copiers and followers, The U.S. government has now entered a shutdown. This means that many federal services are temporarily halted until Congress agrees on a new budget. While this creates uncertainty, history shows us that government shutdowns are more political than economic in nature. Since 1976, there have been more than 20 shutdowns. None of them have left a lasting impact on the stock market. In the short term, however, volatility often increases as economic data releases (such as jobs and inflation) get delayed, leaving investors and the Federal Reserve with less visibility. ๐Ÿ”ธ How could markets react? In previous cases, shutdowns lasting less than a month had very limited market impact. If prolonged, the lack of economic data may trigger larger swings in sentiment. In times like this, investors who panic may overreact but historically, these events tend to pass without changing the long-term market direction. ๐Ÿ”ธ My approach I will not be selling or changing my portfolio due to this event. If anything, I may consider adding to strong companies should valuations become more attractive. My focus remains long-term. $SPX500 $NSDQ100 $BTC $GOLD
