🚨 🚨🚨BIG macro alert: U.S. Government SHUTDOWN — what it means (real numbers) 🚨🚨🚨
✅ It’s official: federal funding lapsed and the U.S. entered a shutdown today — brace for choppy risk assets.
📉 Macro hit: each week of shutdown trims about 0.1pp from annualized GDP growth (Moody’s Analytics, Mark Zandi).
💸 For reference, the 2018–19 shutdown cost $11B in output, incl. $3B permanently (CBO).
✈️ Real-world pain: FAA plans ~11,000 furloughs; ATC & TSA keep working unpaid; travel industry loss ~$1B/week (U.S. Travel).
📊 Data delays = extra volatility: key releases (e.g., jobs) may slip while agencies pause.
🧭 TL;DR: expect higher volatility + funding swings; keep position sizes sane, watch UTC windows, and don’t ignore fees.
