government shutdown
The US government has more than a 50% chance of shutting down, Goldman Sachs warned.
  • The US government is more likely than not to shutdown by the end of the month, Goldman Sachs warned.
  • But stocks could rebound quickly from any ensuing volatility, stock market experts say.
  • Congress has a long history of missing deadlines to pass spending bills. 

The US government looks it's headed for a shutdown as policymakers reach an impasse on the nation's budget for the next fiscal year. But the stock market's top strategists aren't much fazed by that possibility and there's a high chance investors could come out of the situation doing just fine, experts say.
