🚨 Urgent | US Government Shutdown Crisis Worsens
According to Polymarket forecasts, the US government shutdown is likely to continue until Thanksgiving Day (December 1), meaning a 61-day government paralysis—nearly double the longest shutdown in US history.
✈️ The US aviation sector is under unprecedented pressure, with a shortage of over 3,000 air traffic controllers and increasing flight delays across the country.
💼 On the economic front:
• A prolonged shutdown means reduced federal activity and a slowdown in government contracts and projects.
• Markets have begun pricing in political risk, with US stocks experiencing significant volatility and gold and the dollar rising slightly as safe havens.
• Conversely, risk appetite has declined in indices such as the $SPX and $NDX due to concerns about the impact of a prolonged shutdown on growth.
📊 All eyes are now on the US Congress, which has so far failed to pass a temporary funding resolution to end the crisis.
