Stocks posted modest gains on Monday as concerns mounted about a looming US government shutdown possibly delaying the release of key labor-market data that could provide clues about how fast the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates. Vice President JD Vance said he believes the US government is on track to shut down, seeking to pin the blame on Democrats one day before federal funding is set to lapse. "I think we're headed into a shutdown because the Democrats won't do the right thing," Vance said Monday following a meeting with congressional leaders at the White House. "I hope they change their mind, but we're going to see." For more, we turn to Bill Campbell – Global Bond Portfolio Manager at DoubleLine.

And  President Donald Trump's new plan to end the Gaza war is, in essence, an ultimatum to Hamas to release hostages, give up arms and surrender — or face the full force of the Israeli military with the US's explicit blessing. Trump said Israel would have his "full backing to finish the job" if Hamas rejects the offer, and Israeli troops and tanks are now in the heart of Gaza City, from which 800,000 Palestinians have fled. In that sense, the offer is familiar — and it is one that Hamas has repeatedly rejected over the course of the war. We heard from Kirstin Fontenrose, President of President of Red Six International. She spoke to Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Shery Ahn on the Asia Trade.
