Commentary
Market seems to be having calm before the storm. As I have mentioned before, the next issue after the budget is the “debt ceiling”. This is a major problem as it not only affects whether the US government can function, it affects the amount of QE that can be done. Inability to increase debt may result in premature tapering.
The news has been full of noise. Even if the shutdown is short lived, a sudden situation leading to 800,000 civil servants stopping work for the next few days is already chaos. Fund managers interviewed by various news agencies have had positive comments on the US stock market this morning. This has been inconsistent with the flow data on US stocks.
