Weekly Washington Policy Pulse: Shutdown Update, Supreme Court Tariff Preview (Nov 3, 2025)

A status update on the US government shutdown -- as well as scenarios that could potentially lead to the US government re-opening later this week -- led Bloomberg Intelligence's Washington Policy Pulse on Nov. 3. If a deal isn't made, a re-opening may not happen until potential travel chaos associated with the Thanksgiving holiday. We also discussed how a lapse of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits impacted grocers like Walmart, Kroger and Albertsons. Finally, we previewed Wednesday's oral arguments at the Supreme Court where the justices may provide insight on whether or not President Donald Trump's reciprocal tariffs are lawful. The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington D.C. The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST.
