Are we 5 weeks away from a US Government shutdown? \u2026and what does this mean for the markets?<\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n

 
\nPresident Donald Trump has had a few admittedly less-than-stellar weeks. Topping off his widely condemned remarks following the Charlottesville, Virginia events, he went on to attack his Republican colleagues in the House and Senate.
\nRecent polling has shown his numbers dropping below the 40% mark, with the largest drops coming from his own Republican voter base. Although Republicans control both houses of Congress and the Presidency, as we all witnessed last month with the health care debacle, they were unable to overcome different political factions and tribalism. Congress will have two very large issues this month: raising the debt ceiling, which is the limit of how much the US government can borrow, and passing a spending bill. The Treasury department has stated that Congress needs to raise the debt ceiling by Friday September 29. Failure to pass a spending bill could force a government shutdown.
\n 
\nDuring a rally in Phoenix, he stated that he was willing to allow the government to experience its second shutdown in recent years if they didn\u2019t include funding for his wall (that Mexico will supposedly pay for). This is not the first time that he\u2019s threatened to close the government. Below were his tweets from three months ago:

\nAnd his tweets from Thursday August 24th<\/sup>:

\n 
\nEven with President Trump\u2019s tweets and statements, Republican leaders have stated that they want to avoid a shutdown. President Trump and his administration need a boost to the ever-declining poll numbers beyond the funding for the border wall. \u00a0They\u2019ll also be requesting more immigration officers and an increased military budget. Between uniform opposition among Democrats and infighting among the Republicans, you\u2019ll expect to see more Republicans breaking rank if his poll numbers sink lower \u2013 something rather problematic for the President\u2019s agenda. The House of Representatives requires a simple majority \u2013 something the Republicans already have; 240 versus 194. While the Senate in practice requires 60 to pass a bill, the Republicans only have 52 (the Democrats have 48). Thus, Democratic support for the spending bill will be required, which will force Republicans in Congress to make some very difficult concessions.
\n <\/p>\n

What does this mean for the markets?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The last time the government had a shutdown was the 1st<\/sup> \u2013 16th<\/sup> of October 2013. The Democrats were in control of the Presidency and Senate, while Republicans held the House. Below we\u2019ve highlighted the shutdown on the GO Trader 4 US Dollar Index daily chart.

\nIf you\u2019re unfamiliar with the US Index, it\u2019s the value of the US Dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies. Thus, rather than analyzing a single currency pair, you\u2019re able to monitor its movements and hedge your position against a rising or falling Dollar. It\u2019s one of the Futures CFDs that Wixad offers. As you can see in the lead-up to the shutdown the index slumped, and immediately following the end of the shutdown the index dropped to the lowest point of 2013.
\n <\/p>\n

Latest update on the Shutdown<\/strong><\/h2>\n

President Trump made a deal with the Democrats reportedly to avoid what was going to be a wild September with a number of legislative deadlines and a probable government shutdown. Majority and minority leaders, together with the House Speaker, announced in a joint press conference that an extension deal for the debt ceiling to March next year and a spending bill was made until mid-December for Hurricane Harvey victims.
\nIn the context of national calamities, Trump sided with the Democrats to reassure Americans and to avoid instability by shutting down the government. The US Dollar experienced a boost on the news. While House Speaker Paul Ryan finds the idea of playing politics with the debt ceiling \u2018ridiculous\u2019, Trump unexpectedly sided with the Democrats this time around.\u00a0 He mayalso be taking a position where he can aim to push tax and other reforms in his favour.

\nIt will be interesting to see how Trump works together with Congress to reach a deal in December.
