I just noticed the chances of a US government shutdown on Feb 14 dropping to around 25%, and it honestly feels like a bit of pressure coming off the room. For the past few days, that uncertainty was sitting in the background, making everything feel a little tense. Even if people don’t talk about it much, these things affect how the market feels. Seeing those odds fall makes it seem like maybe things won’t get as messy as expected. It’s not some huge celebration type news, but it does bring a small sense of calm. And markets usually breathe easier when uncertainty starts fading.
