🚨 Shock Alert: Shutdown Risk Surges — Markets Could React

This isn’t speculation — traders are putting real money on these outcomes. A lapse in DHS funding could disrupt services, delay economic data releases, and add volatility to markets before the headlines even catch up.

Political tensions are elevated following nationwide backlash over recent federal immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota, where two civilians were fatally shot by federal agents during “Operation Metro Surge.” The controversy has led Senate Democrats to block DHS funding and demand structural reforms.
