November 13 update: On the 43rd day of the government shutdown, U.S. President Trump signed a temporary appropriations bill, bringing an end to the longest government "shutdown" in American history. The bill will provide continued funding for the federal government, enabling most government agencies to secure operational funds until January 30, 2026. Historically, the S&P 500 Index has tended to continue rising in the month following the conclusion of each of the previous 15 U.S. government shutdowns. Do you believe that the end of the current U.S. government shutdown will boost the future performance of U.S. stocks? How would you respond—add positions at a lower price or adopt a cautious wait-and-see approach?
