U.S. Government Shutdown Begins – Impact on Markets, USD & Treasuries
Description:
The U.S. federal government has officially shut down after Congress failed to reach a funding agreement.
This marks the first shutdown since 2019 — and it comes amid a bitter fight between President Donald Trump and Democrats over healthcare subsidies (ACA) and Medicaid cuts.
In this video, I explain:
• Why the U.S. government needs funding approvals
• What ACA and GOP mean, and why they are at the center of the fight
• The political deadlock between Trump and Democrats
• Immediate fallout: furloughed workers, disrupted services, risk of millions losing healthcare
• Market impact: volatility in U.S. stocks, USD movement, and Treasury yields
• Global spillover risks for Asia, Singapore, and investors like us
History shows shutdowns are often temporary — but the longer this lasts, the bigger the damage to confidence, growth, and markets.
