Good MorningThe six-week government shutdown has officially ended, but the economic impact is far from over. Officials warn that unpaid workers, stalled contracts, and cancelled flights will weigh on growth for months. Mortgage rates edged up to 6.24%, further straining housing and consumer spending, while Boeing machinists ratified a five-year deal with 24% wage gains and a $6,000 bonus, ending a three-month production disruption.
Meanwhile, companies ramped up shareholder returns. DraftKings, AppLovin, and Altria announced over $5 billion in new buyback authorizations, with DraftKings doubling its program despite a 36% stock decline—an indication management sees value at current levels. The S&P 500 is still up nearly 17% year to date, though caution is building.
Tech remained the trading focal point, with NVIDIA among the most active, while some investors rotated into high-yield real estate for defensive income. Looking ahead, markets will weigh policy shifts—including higher 401(k) limits for 2026—and fintech innovations like Cash App’s Moneybot as they position for year-end.

From Our Partners | | Moderna's stock doubled in a single day after its cancer vaccine hit key Phase 3 goals, and Merck jumped too. But according to a former Steve Cohen fund manager, the next big opportunity is not Moderna or Merck.
It is a different kind of company tied to a technology already backed by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Peter Thiel. Nvidia's Jensen Huang says it will have a dramatic impact on daily life, while Anthropic's CEO believes it could unlock a century of medical progress in just ten years.
