🚨 BIG WARNING: THE BIGGEST THREAT TO MARKETS IS BACK.
The probability of a US government shutdown this week has surged to around 96%, up from roughly 18% just one week ago.
Negotiations remain stalled as Democrats push for changes tied to immigration enforcement, while Republicans continue to resist the proposals, increasing the risk of a temporary shutdown.
Why markets are watching closely:
During shutdown periods, the US Treasury often rebuilds its Treasury General Account (TGA), which can pull liquidity out of financial markets. In previous shutdown periods, this has coincided with tighter liquidity and increased market volatility.
If a shutdown happens and lasts longer, traders warn that liquidity conditions could tighten again, increasing short term risk across financial markets.
