[Huatai Securities: The Impact of the U.S. Government's Brief Shutdown is Milder Than Last Time] Odaily Planet Daily News - A research report by Huatai Securities believes that at noon on January 31, 2026, Beijing time, the U.S. government shut down again following the shutdown in October last year. However, unlike last October, most compromises have already been reached between the two parties. The shutdown occurred only because the House of Representatives was in recess and unable to vote in time, leading to a brief shutdown. The government is expected to reopen as early as February 2 after the House passes the appropriation resolution. Since this shutdown occurred over the weekend and lasted for a short period, with only partial agencies affected, it is expected to have no impact on the economy, markets, or data releases. However, the repeated government shutdowns highlight domestic divisions and political polarization in the U.S., which may accelerate the process of de-dollarization in the medium to long term. (Jin10)
