US President Trump posts "America is setting Records in every way, and our Growth Numbers are among the best ever. The only thing that can slow our Country down is another long and damaging Government Shutdown", calls for Congress to vote "YES"

Full post: "America is setting Records in every way, and our Growth Numbers are among the best ever. The only thing that can slow our Country down is another long and damaging Government Shutdown. I am working hard with Congress to ensure that we are able to fully fund the Government, without delay. Republicans and Democrats in Congress have come together to get the vast majority of the Government funded until September, while at the same time providing an extension to the Department of Homeland Security (including the very important Coast Guard, which we are expanding and rebuilding like never before). Hopefully, both Republicans and Democrats will give a very much needed Bipartisan “YES” Vote."

Trump's comments underscore the significance of government funding discussions, emphasizing that a shutdown could derail economic growth momentum. This rhetoric is likely aimed at stabilizing markets and rallying bipartisan support, potentially influencing the USD and related assets if sentiment shifts favorably. Investors should watch for market reactions related to risk sentiment in equities and FX as the political landscape evolves.
