Hello my friend
The Federal government is officially shut down. How the markets will react is anyones guess. I would imagine that if the shutdown lasts for an extended period of time it will impact the markets and they will struggle to maintain the bullish momentum. More importantly we have a significant amount of earnings from some big companies reporting next week as you can see from the list below.
We have a broad scope of companies reporting that could impact several sectors and even with the shutdown they will likely be the main focus for the equity markets in the week ahead.
