Treasury Yields Decline: Treasury yields decreased slightly as the U.S. government shutdown entered its fourth week, with the 10-year yield at 4.085% and the 2-year yield at 3.582%.
Shutdown Duration: The government shutdown has lasted 34 days, nearing the record of 35 days from December 2018 to January 2019, with analysts noting it could become the longest in history if unresolved soon.
Impact on Economic Data: The shutdown has delayed the release of key economic reports, including the October jobs report, leading investors to rely on the upcoming ADP private payrolls report for insights into the economy.
Potential Resolution: There are indications of increased dialogue among parties and public pressure, suggesting that the shutdown may be approaching a resolution, alongside a significant Supreme Court hearing on President Trump's tariffs.
