According to Yahoo Finance, Kevin Warsh, President Trump's nominee for Federal Reserve Chairman, appeared in newly released Epstein case documents released by the US government on Friday. The documents show that Warsh's name was listed in the email guest list for the "2010 St. Bartholomew's Christmas" event, alongside figures such as Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich; he also attended a dinner hosted by British aristocrat William Astor. This revelation occurred on the same day Warsh was nominated for Fed chairman. His main controversy previously stemmed from his relationship with Republican donor Ronald Lauder, who was accused of influencing Trump's interest in Greenland and holding business interests there during Trump's first term. Warsh may now need to address his relationship with Epstein and his 2010 Christmas trip, and there is also speculation about whether Trump's nomination is related to their shared social circle.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the U.S. federal government entered a technical, partial shutdown at midnight local time on January 31st, unable to consider the appropriations bill due to the House of Representatives' recess. Analysts point out that although the shutdown is expected to be short-lived, it once again highlights the structural predicament of U.S. fiscal politics. In recent years, temporary funding, short-term extensions, and marginal shutdowns have become the norm in congressional budget negotiations, with government operations frequently hampered by political disagreements. Currently, the market generally believes that the direct impact of this technical shutdown on financial markets and economic operations is limited, but if subsequent congressional negotiations are again stalled, the risk of a prolonged shutdown and a wider impact cannot be ruled out.

Odaily Planet Daily reports that the US government officially began a partial shutdown early on the morning of March 31st local time. This followed the Senate's passage of a spending bill to fund most federal government departments, which was then submitted to the House of Representatives for consideration. However, due to the absence of House members in Washington, D.C., and their expected return on Monday (February 2nd), the Senate vote could not prevent a partial government shutdown. (Jinshi)
