The Senate, backed by the Democratic Party, rejected the temporary budget proposal, leading to an impending <em>shutdown<\/em> on October 1, local time.<\/p>\n<p>The Congressional Budget Office estimates that around 750,000 government employees will be furloughed. Consequently, the release of economic data may be delayed, making it challenging for market participants to assess the state of the US economy.
