Asian shares, US stock futures slip as US government nears shutdown
US stock futures slipped as the government neared a shutdown after a stopgap funding bill failed, raising investor concerns. The looming shutdown threatens to delay crucial economic reports, like nonfarm payrolls, which are vital for the Federal Reserve's interest-rate decisions. This potential information vacuum could lead to market volatility, especially with valuations near prior peaks.
