US government shutdown looms

13:56 21 December 2018
US President Donald Trump has warned of a very long government shutdown if Democrats vote against the idea to include funds for a wall with Mexico. He also added on his Twitter account that “Even President Ronald Reagan tried for 8 years to build a Border Wall and wa unable to do so. Others also have tried. We will get it done, one way or the other!” Let us remind that the House approved a spending bill which includes money to fund the wall on Thursday but this bill is very likely to be rejected by the Senate. The deadline passes at midnight. The SP500 futures are sliding 0.6% while the US dollar index is gaining 0.4% several minutes before 1 pm GMT.
