🚨 Federal Reserve Reassures Markets Amid Government Shutdown

Fed official Collins stated that even if the U.S. federal government shuts down, the core operations of the Federal Reserve will continue: printing money if needed, managing banks, and setting interest rates. The “heart” of the financial system is still beating. ❤️

Key takeaways:

1️⃣ Strong Independence: The Fed funds itself through its operations, so a shutdown doesn’t stop it.

2️⃣ Increased Uncertainty: Economic data delays and paused regulations mean interest rate decisions may be made without full information—like “driving blindfolded.”

⚖️ Bottom line: The system is stable, but political deadlock still brings risk for the market.
