đ¨ BREAKING: U.S. Government Shutdown Risk in 6 Days
Markets are entering a high-uncertainty window. Historically, shutdowns have pushed gold and silver to new highs, while risk assets face elevated pressure.
â ď¸ 4 Key Risks to Watch:
1ď¸âŁ Data Blackout
No CPI, no jobs data â policy and risk models lose visibility. Volatility typically reprices higher.
2ď¸âŁ Collateral Shock
Credit stress + shutdown risk may trigger downgrades, pushing repo margins higher and tightening liquidity.
3ď¸âŁ Liquidity Freeze
The RRP buffer is largely depleted. Dealer cash hoarding could strain funding markets.
4ď¸âŁ Recession Risk
Each shutdown week cuts ~0.2% of GDP, potentially tipping a fragile economy into recession.
đ Key signal:
Watch the SOFRâIORB spread â widening indicates private markets starved for cash.
Market Watch:
⢠$DUSK : â18.2%

⢠$ZKC : +6.1%


⢠$AUCTION : active setup

Bottom line:
Markets are highly sensitive. Stay disciplined, manage risk, and avoid emotional positioning.
