🚨 BREAKING: The odds of U.S. government shutdown by January 31 have surged sharply 📈 — with Polymarket pricing roughly a 75–80% likelihood after recent political turbulence. (yellow.com)
This spike comes amid intense political fallout from a fatal federal Border Patrol shooting in Minneapolis that has ignited protests, raised questions about federal enforcement tactics, and heightened partisan conflict over funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) 🇺🇸. (Reuters)
Senate Democrats, citing concerns about DHS policy and federal actions, have signaled opposition to advancing the DHS appropriations bill — a key part of the larger funding package — unless reforms are included 🏛️⚖️. Without agreement by the end of this month, a partial shutdown becomes likely ⏰. (washingtonpost.com)
A shutdown isn’t just politics — it’s real economic friction: delayed paychecks 💸, paused contracts ⚙️, slowed approvals 🛑, and market volatility. Historical shutdowns have had measurable GDP impact and sent workers home without pay 📉.
In previous cycles, markets first react in crypto and bonds before broader equities catch up 🔄 — something traders are watching closely.
