US: More Americans Blame Trump/GOP For Shutdown Than Democrats - WAPO
A new survey from the Washington Post has found that “significantly more Americans blame President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans for the shutdown than Democrats, though many say they are not sure.”
- The Post notes, “People express moderate concern about the shutdown’s impact at this early stage, with “somewhat concerned” the most common answer. A large majority support Democrats’ call to extend federal health insurance subsidies in general, though just under half support the party demanding this if it extends the government shutdown.”
- The report adds, “The poll shows two factors driving opinions about Republicans. Political independents are more than twice as likely to say Trump and Republicans are responsible for the shutdown as Democrats, 50 percent vs. 22 percent. Second, while 67 percent of Republicans blame Democrats for the shutdown, an even larger 87 percent of Democrats blame Trump and Republicans. That gap may shrink as the shutdown goes on.”

Despite Tuesday’s sell-off in EURUSD, the trend set-up remains bullish and weakness is considered corrective. Note that the pair has recently pierced key support around the 50-day EMA, currently at 1.1611. A clear break of the average would signal scope for a deeper retracement and potentially expose key medium-term support at 1.1392, Aug 1 low. Key resistance and the bull trigger is 1.1829, Jul 1 high. A breach would resume the primary uptrend.
