The bond markets are closed today.
This is another big week for economic releases; unfortunately, many of the reports listed below will not be released due to the continued government shutdown.
This week will once again hinge upon any movement on the debt ceiling talks. According to the Treasury Department, the U.S. will hit our debt ceiling on October 17th. If we progress past that date, then the U.S. will have to put off making some debt payments which may be considered a technical default and would rattle the global financial system.
What is on the agenda for this week?
