🚨 FLASHBACK WITH A WARNING: The Shutdown That Shook America 🇺🇸
In 2019, the U.S. government shut down for 35 days — the longest in history.
Nearly 800,000 workers missed paychecks. Airports slowed. Markets felt the stress.
⚠️ Why it still matters today: • Budget battles = economic uncertainty
• Political deadlock = market volatility
• Shutdown risk = pressure on USD, bonds & risk assets
The government reopened without wall funding, proving how costly political gridlock can be.
📉 History lesson for traders:
When Washington freezes, markets don’t stay calm.
With shutdown risks always on the table, smart traders stay alert.
Macro drama = volatility opportunities. 👀🔥
