The equity markets have managed to record gains after a sawtooth session, in a context that invites caution when approaching midnight Butoir time to reach an agreement on the American budget and avoid a “Shutdown” which risks delaying the publication of a series of key data for the Federal Reserve (Fed).

US President Donald Trump warned Congress Democrats on Tuesday that a “Shutdown” would allow his administration to take “irreversible” measures, such as the closure of programs that matters to them.

Although previous “Shutdowns” had a limited impact on the markets, some analysts warned that if the federal administration was closed this time, its effect could be more important due to the economic context.
