🚨💥 Fed Stays Open🚨

On Sept 30, Fed official Collins said a U.S. shutdown won’t stop the central bank. It can still print money, adjust rates, and support banks.

🏦 Independent Machine

The Fed doesn’t rely on Congress for funding. Its income comes from bonds and banking operations, so its “heartbeat” keeps running.

🚨 Flying Blind

A shutdown delays vital data like jobs and inflation reports. Without them, the Fed must decide policy with limited visibility — a risky move.

⚠️ The Catch

While the Fed ensures stability, the economy may still stumble if D.C. gridlock drags on.

📉 Market Impact

Bottom line: The system keeps ticking, but markets could pay the price.
