Money Market Review (09/29/2025-10/03/2025)
Running through the stocks and how they performed this week, while worries of government shutdown likely had an effect.
Two words: Government shutdown. Despite the speculation and worries, it happened. As you saw in the markets, there doesn't seem to be much panic presumed. Understandably, some trades and stocks performed well, unaffected by the shutdown; however, there were some which surprised as well as stood out like never before. Other than that, we could confidently say that it was business as usual. We'll let you be the judge and see, reflective of how your own investments and trading went.

For those invested on Wolfspeed stock is likely a thousandaire/millionaire by now with the largest increase we've seen, thus far. As for reports that happened this day, Gold hits another high and tariffs are placed on movies produced outside the US[1]. Aside from that, on this day, OpenAI integrates ChatGPT for Etsy and Shopify, making instant checkout much quicker. It seems that OpenAI is, slowly, becoming the "Google" of AI, but we're sure Google themselves, along with other companies like Meta and Microsoft, would have something to say about that; as tech companies like them are trying to set foot into the AI space, let alone the race to become the name for smart glasses.

This was the "final" day ticking until US government was set in shutting down at 12:01AM[1]. In terms of trading, it would be a great time to shop and buy stocks while percentages go down; at least that's the suggestion during a time like this. Even during the shutdown, no jobs report will be made, making this whole thing even more confusing, though the markets seemed to remain steady. On another note, Nike beat their estimated revenue topping at $11.72B compared to $11.02B[1].

Markets recover despite being the first day of government shutdown[1]. Only catch vith this shutdown was the lowering of the US dollar[2]. In other news, Reddit stocks drop as ChatGPT's response references plummet[2]. Makes you wonder where and what websites AI agents like ChatGPT are looking towards. If they moved away from Reddit due to quality of the responses, then that likely explains the plunge.

Being the second day of government shutdown saw stocks rising in Thursday trading[1]. It's been a bit since we heard news of purchases, and it was this day where Berkshire Hathaway buying Oxychem for $9.7B[1]. While there weren't too much happening, despite news outlets focusing on government shutdown plus the layoffs going along with it, stocks continued to stay up. Impressive.

Stocks mostly higher as the markets closed[1]. You'd think that with this shutdown, it's time to sell, but everything seems to have stabilized. As you can tell from the stocks that stood out, namely ones which went down, the percentages weren't that significant compared to stocks that went up. This isn't to say government shutdowns are good for the markets, but who can tell the good from bad?
This week had a rough start, despite the worries where the market was heading due to government shutdown. That changed, in a way, the moment it was 12:01AM on Wednesday. We saw stocks remain steady, while others increased. For the "daily losers" among stocks, the plunge wasn't much for those that lost on Friday. Jobs report and consumer confidence seem to be easing, but in terms of stocks, that says otherwise. Not sure how long the shutdown will last, but surely, markets will be impacted if it reopens. Would it be a seesaw effect: stocks are up during this shutdown, but might plunge if it reopens? Something to think about going into next week because, again, we're not sure how long this shutdown will last. One thing for sure is to keep a watchful eye on your stocks beacuse the moment that report of government reopening arrives, it'll be chaos—in a good or bad way; we don't know. Overall, this week was actually good, and as you know, quantum stocks are on fire.
Did you fear the government shutdown would affect your stock(s)? Were you surprised how steady things were this week? Let's talk about it in the comments section below!
