šØ U.S. GOVERNMENT PARTIAL SHUTDOWN šØ
ā ļø Markets just lost their vision.
If youāre exposed to stocks, crypto, or commodities, pay attention š
š The Data Blackout Is Here
With the shutdown underway, markets are walking into a serious information void:
š No inflation releases
š No jobless claims
š No GDP / PCE data
š No CFTC positioning
š No updated balance sheets
š Meaning:
The Fed, institutions, and investors are now operating blind.
š What History Shows
When data disappears, markets usually react in two ways:
1ļøā£ Hard assets catch a bid
š” Gold
āŖ Silver
š Copper
ā Uncertainty drives demand for real value š
2ļøā£ Risk assets lose stability
š Stocks turn erratic
š Sentiment whipsaws
ā No data = no confidence
ā ļø A Familiar Warning Signal
The last time systemic stress accelerated quickly?
š§Ø March 2020
š The SOFR vs IORB spread blew out ā an early red flag before broader market panic.
š That spread matters. Watch it closely.
š„ Bottom Line
š« No data
š« No guidance
š« No guardrails
Markets hate uncertainty ā and this just injected a massive dose of it.
š§ Stay sharp
š Control risk
ā” Be ready for fast, violent moves
