John Blank and Eric Winograd cover the impact of the U.S. government shutdown on households and what the Fed might decide to do in December. Eric previews the September jobs report we will see later this week, though he notes the shutdown had not begun yet and we won’t see the impact yet. He thinks the October payrolls could be an “outright negative” number. John covers delays on IPOs and thinks some listings may be shelved as a potential bottleneck forms.
