In this Special Market Report, Carol Dewey unpacks one of the market’s biggest surprises — a rally during a government shutdown. While headlines scream uncertainty, history tells a very different story.

Carol explains why the market is celebrating instead of panicking, what weak payroll and manufacturing data mean for Federal Reserve policy, and how seasonal patterns could make October a strong month for investors.
