#美联储官员集体发声

When America shuts its doors, will the Federal Reserve officials become the comforting figures like "the neighbor Lao Wang"?
If the government shuts down on October 1 and the U.S. Treasury goes directly "offline," it will be a heavy blow to the market. Let’s not forget that the Federal Reserve is not just a bystander; they are more like the neighbor next door, patting you on the shoulder saying "Stay calm, don’t panic," while secretly wondering, "How long can I hold on?"

A shutdown means data delays, stagnation of fiscal spending, and investors have no references, relying only on emotional trading. When Federal Reserve officials collectively came out to speak, it was like suddenly opening a "crypto AMA." Some might say, "The economic fundamentals are still decent." Others might counter, "But if fiscal policy continues to mess around, even interest rate tools won't hold up." This kind of rhetoric makes the market feel reassured at times and cold sweats at other times.

The key is that a shutdown is usually the product of political tug-of-war, and the Federal Reserve cannot pull the plug in Congress, only stabilize the situation through rhetoric. The question is, does this rhetoric sound like "soothing music" or like an "alarm bell"? It depends on the investors' mindset.

In summary: the government shutdown is a serious issue, and the collective statements from Federal Reserve officials can only be seen as a "band-aid." Whether it can truly alleviate the pain depends on whether the market trusts them or continues to doubt the promises of the neighbor, Old Wang.
