[Jefferies: U.S. Government Restart May Ease Market Risk Pressure] On November 11, Jefferies Global Economist Mohit Kumar stated that the prospect of a U.S. government restart could ease market risk pressure and boost risk assets. Kumar pointed out that after the Senate passed the stopgap spending bill, the government shutdown might end this week. He believes that position unwinding will reduce resistance for risk assets, though uncertainty around Federal Reserve policy remains. According to data from the London Stock Exchange Group, the currency market predicts a 64% probability that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in December.
