First US Shutdown in 17 Years at Midnight Seen Probable

It will be business as usual tomorrow and next week.

so whats d effect of a shut down on the fx market, risk-on or risk off?

no effect

That right.......NO EFFECT what so ever. It has really been shut down for the last 40 years anyway. It will be business as usual no matter what happens.

I remember fiscal cliff situation at new year eve. They should find another play, no creativity here.

You betting on that?

the investor will be scared... so usd weak... i hope so

Ouao!! Seriously you guys?

You guys really don’t know anything about trading.


History repeat it self !

Step one:
If this US shutdown will actually happen, EURUSD will dropped to 1.30 in just few days.
Why? Hmm, that is easy just go and see what happened in Nov 1995 to Jan 1996.
EURUSD dropped 600 pips.
There will be risk in the market so USD strong!

Step 2:
If they found a solution on this US shutdown, then yes..
EURUSD 1.40 !!

Anyway, have fun tradingi dont remebr the sep 24t

you all noob, really don't know anything about trading, just a news trader losser!

There wasn't a euro in 95-96 you bozo. What you see before 2000 is a fantasy accumulation of SOME of the then European currencies on the Schengen Agreement application(Mar.95) aftermath and their devaluation on the road for the common currency.

Well the euro is shooting up atm

just buy xxx/usd, sell usd/xxx dik...

Why do we need a "Guest" posting function on this forum?

Calling it a shutdown and all the fretting about default is bogus. Revenues continue to come in and debt continues to be paid so no default. Other operations continue so not a shut down. "Shutdowns" have occurred something like 17 times and we are still here.

What does happen is the government has to decide what to continue and what to cut. That should be things like funding a study of snails on a treadmill instead of infrastructure repair but that would prove that government has a lot of waste.

When the situation is resolved the laid off government workers will be given their back pay. That's a glaring example of how stupid government is. It would not happen anywhere else. btw - 4 of 6 communities with average incomes over double the national average are right around Washington DC and filled with government workers.

Sequestration has been the only successful budget move in years and that was with both the Democrats and Republicans opposing it. They just managed to collectively back themselves into it.

You have heard about a soft landing for how long? Would not need a soft landing if an economy was based on a solid footing. But both personal and national economies are based on deficit spending. There would be nothing better than a government shut down for several months.

Can anyone plz tell me that what will happen with Gold and Oil, in case of Shut down.

I personally think that it will go up.

What is the future of gbpusd and usdjpy if us should shutdown tomorrow?

Is a pity for the Dollar if that happens

Care in the community, occupational therapy?

alwayz a twist expected in the end .

when the result of shutdown or not shutdown will be clear?

No shutdown. They will resolve tomorrow morning at 430AM.

The US has 124 trillion in unfunded liability.

The system is broke. The US is the most dysfunctional corporation.

I have no doubt the exchanges will have major problems tomorrow meeting the demand from people with pre-existing conditions who can now get coverage and people with low incomes who are eligible for help in paying for their coverage. Delaying somebody with cancer or other serious illnesses for a year who can't get health coverage and the treatment they need, or forcing them to go bankrupt is an unspeakably cruel and sinful act. "Therefore by their fruits you will know them."

Better do your homework first. There was No EURO in 95!

Anyway, this circus makes the market move. Just follow your chart and be HAPPY!

Why so smart about guests posts.
Look to the name you have. Didn´t you start as a guest or are you born as a financial guru?
Half of you guys shout BUY and half of shout you SELL.

Maybe it better to listen to guest sometimes to get your feet back on the ground!

No shut down going to happen simply wait for few hours you can read the news that resolution passed with few adjustment

Good due diligence.

Actually , I am not convinced the idea ( if shutdown will happen there will be risk in the market so USD strong)

We need to consider that shutdown will cause 2 million
personnels to be jobless = bery huge raise to unemployment claims ....
