As of November 5, the U.S. government has been 'shut down' for 36 days, setting a record for the longest shutdown in history! In response, U.S. President Trump called for an end to the government shutdown as soon as possible and stated outright that the U.S. stock market would reach new highs again! Goldman Sachs expects that the U.S. government shutdown could end in the second week of November. Do you think the U.S. government will end the shutdown this month? How do you expect the U.S. stock market to fluctuate in the near term?
