As the risk of a government shutdown increases, economic experts are observing market trends without immediate concern. Historical data shows that during the five government shutdowns since 1995, the stock market has remained resilient, with positive performance noted in the months following each event. The most extended shutdown occurred from December 21, 2018, to January 25, 2019, lasting 35 days, during which the S&P 500 index rose by 10.3%. Current market sentiment suggests that while a shutdown is approaching, its impact on equity markets may be limited, as evidenced by previous patterns where stocks largely ignored shutdowns. Analysts from Goldman Sachs have indicated that while the risk of a shutdown is rising, a prolonged shutdown is unlikely. Overall, experts remain cautiously optimistic about the market's ability to weather potential disruptions.
