"US Budget Crisis and Tariffs: Where Are Global Markets Headed?"

In the global markets last week, significant fluctuations were observed due to the U.S. government's shutdown and the uncertainties it brought. This situation draws investors' attention to a crucial point: whether a consensus will be reached on the budget in the U.S. This uncertainty has led to a mixed trend in the markets, while developments in the upcoming week are keenly awaited.

The failure of budget discussions has led to a pessimistic outlook regarding the expectations for the government to reopen. While investors continue to assess the potential impacts of this situation on the markets, U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) Chairman Jerome Powell's forthcoming statements are of great importance. Powell's speech will be closely watched, particularly for its implications on monetary policies and interest rates.

U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff rhetoric targeting trade relations with China could deeply affect the course of international trade. Next week, in addition to these statements, there may be new market directions influenced by the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.

Moreover, investors should be prepared for the fluctuations that potential budget disagreements and ongoing trade wars may create in the markets. With all these factors in mind, the upcoming week is expected to witness significant developments that will shape the markets.
