Did Anything Change During The Government Shutdown?

November 13, 2025
A smiling man in a suit appears next to the text: “Economic and Market Perspective: Did Anything Change During The Government Shutdown?” with “Ross Bramwell, CFA” and “HB Wealth” at the bottom.

Last month, we talked about the potential data vacuum of no inflation or jobs reports that was created by the government shutdown. However, in today’s world of accessibility to lots of data, there are still many other sources of data on the key themes that we have been discussing in recent months. In this video, we will give a quick update on what, if anything, has changed from the data we have received during the shutdown.
