CNBC’s Jim Cramer has reassured investors that a potential US government shutdown should not cause panic in the financial markets. Speaking on his show, Cramer argued that while political gridlock often sparks short-term volatility, it rarely has lasting effects on long-term market performance.
“Investors shouldn’t worry about a shutdown. Historically, these events are more about political theater than real economic damage,” Cramer said.
Cramer emphasized that markets have previously weathered shutdowns without significant long-term consequences, and that focusing on fundamentals—such as corporate earnings, Federal Reserve policy, and global demand—remains more important for investors.
While traditional markets may remain relatively stable, analysts note that crypto markets could experience heightened volatility, as uncertainty often drives traders toward alternative assets like Bitcoin and gold. However, sentiment around shutdowns typically reverses quickly once political resolutions are reached.
Cramer concluded that disciplined investors should view any dip caused by shutdown fears as a potential buying opportunity rather than a reason to exit the markets.
