šØ #BREAKING : US GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN LOOKS LIKELY STARTING JANUARY 31!
Tomorrow could be rough for markets if this drags on.
If you think a shutdown is just politics, look back at what happened in 2025:
ā GDP took a 2.8% hit
ā Trillions got wiped out in stocks
This is how politics turns into real market pain:
Tensions are high right now, and Democrats are holding up the DHS funding bill on the Senate floor.
Thatās the key trigger.
If the DHS bill stalls out, a partial shutdown kicks in right at the deadline.
And a shutdown isnāt just people not going to work.
ā Paychecks get delayed
ā Government contracts freeze
ā Approvals slow way down
ā Important data drops get postponed
All that uncertainty hits the economy hard.
Markets usually react the same way:
1. Bonds sell off first
2. Stocks drop next
3. Crypto and commodities get hammered even more
Weāre already seeing some cracks:
ā Gold is down ~9%
ā Silver has dropped ~14%
ā S&P 500 fell ~2%
ā Bitcoin crashed ~7%
And this might just be the start.
Most people are brushing this off right now.
Markets are pricing in that it wonāt be a big deal.
But that kind of complacency usually breaks right before the news hits.
Iāve been watching markets for over a decade and nailed every big top, including the October BTC peak. Stay sharp out there.
