Shutdown

What does a government shutdown mean for the US markets

By Hussein Sayed | August 24, 2017

After stocks and the dollar surged on Tuesday, following a Politico report that Trump’s team have taken a significant step on tax reforms, the President’s threats on Tuesday night to shut down the government and terminate the NAFTA agreement, were not well received by investors, who responded by dragging both equities and the dollar lower.

Tops & Bottoms of 2013

By Michael McFarlin, Dan Collins | February 1, 2014

2013 was a year of anticipation and perhaps disappointment. For those hoping the 2012 election would have settled some of the dysfunction in Washington, that did not happen.

Mercifully, the Fed signaled the beginning of the end of QE3 by year-end.

By John Detrixhe, Bloomberg | December 12, 2013

A U.S. budget accord on track to win passage in Congress doesn’t change the view of Moody’s Investors Service on America’s top Aaa rating because it leaves medium-term deficits largely unaltered, according to Senior Vice President Steven Hess.

Lawmakers ready budget fallback options amid tax impasse

By Heidi Przybyla, Bloomberg | November 25, 2013

With less than three weeks until their deadline, U.S. budget negotiators have yet to break an impasse over revenue, prompting lawmakers to draft plans to blunt $19 billion in defense cuts set to start in January.

Robust soybean demand to be met by equally robust crops

By Sholom Sanik | November 15, 2013

The long awaited, post-shutdown USDA crop report was released on Nov. 8. And while the report did not contain any big surprises, the market behaved as though it did. Soybeans and soybean meal both rallied sharply back to the highs of their recent ranges.

Consumer sentiment in U.S. fell in November to two-year low

By Ben Schenkel, Bloomberg | November 8, 2013

Consumer sentiment in the U.S. fell in November to the lowest level in almost two years as households reeled from last month’s partial government shutdown.

By Michelle Jamrisko, Bloomberg | October 30, 2013
