According to @WhiteHouse, the 43-day Democrat Shutdown led to missed paychecks, over $10 billion in wages and benefits being held, millions of low-income families losing SNAP assistance, flight disruptions, and billions erased from the economy (source: @WhiteHouse, Nov 13, 2025). For trading relevance, the reported missed paychecks and delayed benefits map to consumer demand risk; the reported SNAP disruption maps to lower essential spending capacity; the reported flight disruptions map to airline and travel exposure; and the claim of billions erased from the economy maps to broader risk sentiment across equities, the USD, and liquidity-sensitive crypto assets such as BTC and ETH (source: @WhiteHouse).
