Historically, shutdowns have temporarily affected multiples, not much else
The impact of government shutdowns on financial markets has been limited and short-lived.
Key Takeaways
- We’ve seen 20 or so instances of government shutdowns since the ‘70s, many lasting only hours with a handful coming one right after the other.
- Aggregating the latter together, a rolled-up dataset shows five instances lasting 15 days or more. Examining those five, you find very little long-term impact on earnings or industrial production, and hence very little long-term impact on markets.
