KEY DATA TO WATCH IF THE U.S. GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN: PIPER SANDLER
A shutdown could delay major economic releases like payrolls (Oct 3) and CPI (Oct 15), likely by ~10 days.
Alternative/private data can help track labor and inflation:
🔸 Sep 30: Conference Board jobs data
🔸 Oct 1: ISM & S&P Global PMIs, mortgage applications
🔸 Oct 2 & 9: Weekly jobless claims
🔸 Oct 10: Industrial production
🔸 Later October: NFIB small business (Oct 14), Empire State & Philly Fed surveys (Oct 15–16), NAHB housing index (Oct 16)
Note: Unemployment claims will still be reported; may rise if federal workers are furloughed.

GOLDMAN TURNS POSITIVE ON STOCKS, DOWNGRADES CREDIT
🔸 Equities: Upgraded to Overweight (3- & 12-month) due to Fed dovishness, fiscal easing, and AI-driven growth. S&P 500 targets: 6,800 / 7,000 / 7,200. Large-cap tech & financials lead, supported by earnings growth rather than valuations. International opportunities in Europe, Japan, and Asia ex-Japan.
🔸 Credit: Downgraded to Underweight near term. Spreads tight, limited upside; rising high-yield defaults are a headwind.
🔸 Commodities: Shifted to Neutral for diversification and upside in gold & copper.
🔸 Macro outlook: Fed expected to cut rates twice more this year (50bp possible) and twice in 2026; late-cycle environment favors equities over credit.
🔸 Risks: “Three bears” — growth shock (unemployment rises, AI falters), rate shock (Fed not dovish or yields surge), dollar bear (hurting foreign investors).
