<h2>Sitara Sundar:</h2>
<p>Here are your top market takeaways.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A circle with a title expands: 'Top Market Takeaways.' A question appears over gray: 'What exactly is a government shutdown?'</p>
<h2>Text on screen:</h2>
<p>Text appears below the speaker: 'Sitara Sundar, Equity Specialist, J.P. Morgan Wealth Management. November 10, 2023'</p>
<h2>Sitara Sundar:</h2>
<p>Simply put, it's the closure of parts of the government that are deemed non-essential. Think the IRS or the EPA. Essential services like Social Security or Medicare are still online. In order for the shutdown to cease, Congress must pass either a budget bill or a short-term continuing resolution in order to bring funding back online.</p>
<h2>Text on screen:</h2>
<p>Another question appears: 'Who is impacted?'</p>
<h2>Sitara Sundar:</h2>
<p>Government employees are most directly impacted. Many federal workers, even those who are still employed during this period of time may see their payments suspended or delayed. Indirectly, the closure of non-essential services could be felt more broadly. For example, people applying for passports could see a delay in processing.</p>
<h2>Text on screen:</h2>
<p>Another question: 'Has the government shut down before?'</p>
<h2>Sitara Sundar:</h2>
<p>Yes, there have been 21 shutdowns since the 1970s; the length has varied, some lasting one day to the most recent shutdown in 2018 lasting 34 days.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>Text boxes emphasize her talking points, then a question appears:</p>
<h2>Text on screen:</h2>
<p>'Bigger picture - what does this mean for economic growth?'</p>
<h2>Sitara Sundar:</h2>
<p>Historically, shutdowns don't have a meaningful impact on economic growth. That being said, the length of the shutdown will determine the extent of any damage to the economy, so it's a risk that we're monitoring.</p>
<h2>Text on screen:</h2>
<p>What is the expected impact on stock markets?'</p>
<h2>Sitara Sundar:</h2>
<p>There may be initial volatility, but history suggests there's little long-term impact on stock markets.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A graph appears beside text: 'Government Shutdowns - How Do Stocks Fare? S&P 500 Returns During Prior U.S. Government Shutdowns, by %.' The horizontal bar graph lists 20 shutdowns ranging from 1 day to 34 days. Longer shutdowns in the seventies show negative return percentages ranging up to 5%, while more recent shutdowns show positive return percentages ranging from zero up to 10%, the latter with the longest shutdown in 2018.</p>
<h2>Sitara Sundar:</h2>
<p>S&P 500 returns have been flat on average during prior shutdowns.</p>

<p>We continue to recommend capitalizing on volatility to add to high conviction themes. Here are your key takeaways.</p>
