周三,美元指数连续第四个交易日下跌,跌至97.6,此前美国联邦政府自2019年以来首次关闭,不清楚会持续多久。在民主党人和共和党人未能达成权宜之计的资金协议后,政府停摆,因为民主党人坚持认为,任何协议都应包括延长即将到期的奥巴马医改补贴。据国会预算办公室称,这一僵局可能导致约75万名联邦雇员休假,每天损失约4亿美元的赔偿金。关键的政府服务也可能暂停,包括定于周五发布备受期待的就业报告。由于官方报告可能被推迟,交易员们更加重视今天晚些时候公布的ADP就业数据。与此同时,周二的JOLTS调查显示,职位空缺稳定在720万个,与预测基本一致,并表明劳动力需求稳定。
The dollar index extended its decline for a fourth straight session on Wednesday, slipping to 97.6, after the US federal government shut down for the first time since 2019, with no clarity on how long it may last. The shutdown came after Democrats and Republicans failed to reach a stopgap funding agreement, as Democrats insisted any deal should include an extension of expiring Obamacare subsidies. The impasse threatens to furlough an estimated 750,000 federal employees, at a daily cost of roughly $400 million in lost compensation, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Key government services could also be suspended, including the release of the highly anticipated jobs report scheduled for Friday. With the official report likely delayed, traders are placing greater weight on the ADP employment data due later today. Meanwhile, Tuesday’s JOLTS survey showed job openings holding steady at 7.2 million, broadly in line with forecasts and signaling stable labor demand.
