White House Advisor Kevin Hassett has stated that the U.S. government shutdown is likely to end sometime this week.
After weeks of political deadlock and rising pressure from both parties, this signals a potential breakthrough that could restore key federal operations and bring relief to millions of workers and agencies affected.
If the shutdown ends as expected, it could ease short term economic uncertainty and set the stage for renewed focus on inflation, fiscal policy, and next week’s critical FOMC meeting.
All eyes now on Washington will this week finally bring a resolution?
