BREAKING: US Government shutdown odds now approach 79% after Democrats threaten to not vote for the proposed spending bill unless new DHS and ICE funding is eliminated.

The 40-day shutdown in October is likely shedding 1-2% off Q4 GDP.

Q1 GDP is expected to be very strong, but a shutdown could once again hurt growth. Given the US deficit and debt spending, growth is the only cure right now as the USD continues to weaken as well.

Silver & Gold are rocketing to new all time highs.
