The financial manager should focus on the movement of the movement in planning the scenario amid the closure of the government, the economists say

“The closure of the government is one of the symptoms, not the story,” said Bridget Jenner, chief public affairs official at UN. “Although AON data shows that the turmoil is now fixed-from geopolitical tensions to organizational paralysis-most companies are still running like one time event.”

Jenner said that closure can delay contracts, press liquidity, and reveal how many companies are not ready to accommodate shocks. “What we say to customers is that planning for flexibility is not a reaction – it is a strategy to survive.”

Because the government closed, the main economic data – such as Job numbers in September It is scheduled to be released on Friday by the Labor Statistics Office – will be stopped. American employers added only 22,000 jobs in August, when the labor market continued to calm down. Last month, the Ministry of Labor said that employment had slowed 79,000 in July. The unemployment rate was up to 4.3 %, which is the highest level since 2021.

Gregory Daco, Ey-Parthenon’s chief economist, asked about the effect of BLS that does not publish job numbers on Friday. Daco said: “The lack of major data such as job report would deprive business leaders, policy makers, investors, increase fluctuations and enhance the dilemma of adopting data in the Federal Reserve.” He added that this will also lead to an inflation of economic uncertainty at a time when the economy shows mixed signals.

Regarding the influence on companies, Daco said that companies depend on official data to inform employment, investment and pricing decisions. “The closing data is undermined and undermines the risk of planning. Friction adds at a time when many companies are already moving in a loud policy and economic environment.”

In August, Employers declare 85,979 job discounts, the highest total in August since 2020, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, an external company. During the month of August, the discounts reached 892,362, an increase of 66 % of the same time last year, already exceeding a total of 2024 year of 761358, for each company.

Daco said that if the closure continues, the financial manager should give priority to the movement of movement in planning the scenario. He said that through possible delays in economic data and government operations, financial heads must prepare for market fluctuations and disrupt federal contracts, permits or tax treatment.

Dako said: “The uncertainty generates caution, but it can also be a strategic advantage – as staying smart will be in a better position to act once the clarity returns.”

A big deal

E*Trade from Morgan Stanley released her monthly analysis. “In the strongest September in the US Securities Market since 2010, E*TRADE of Morgan Stanley’s customers has been buying two nets in all S&P 500 sectors,” according to Chris Larkin, the administrative director of trading and investment.

Although the technology sector was the largest winner in September, the three best sectors of pure purchase activity were consumer foodstuffs (+12.66 %), facilities (+12.14 %), and consumer estimate (+11.33 %).

However, this activity was not necessarily defensive as it might seem, as Larkin indicated. His evaluation: “Although facilities shares are a classic defensive play, a large part of the purchase occurred last month in nuclear energy shares, some of which were among the largest winners in September. Also, the activity in the estimated sector of the consumer takes place largely around the shares of Megacap – with those who were withdrawn in September, and those that spread strong effects.”
