Blindfoldedmonkey: Now the market is concerned or not about Shutdown?

Now the market is concerned or not about Shutdown?

It seems to me not really. I was asked on Monday that due to this government shutdown would affect negatively or not on the markets. I said no because that news which known by everybody is not a news anymore to the market. And as I see the three-day movements the US market is just ranging, but the Europeans are much stronger, was enough one day to get back close to the historical highs. The sentiment in Europe is more positive now than in US. And another remarkable fact since the shutdown took effect early Tuesday morning the Nasdaq and Russell are much stronger than Dow or SP500. The shows the technology sector is stronger, that is a good marker about the sentiment.

Now it looks the government shutdown continues for a third day on Thursday.
The S&P 500 -0.07% declined 1.13 points, finish at 1,693. The telecom, health care, and industrials as the worst performing sectors.
The Dow -0.39% , which at one point was off by 147 points intraday, closed down 58.56 points, at 15,133.
The Nasdaq -0.08% , at 3,815. Earlier in the session, the Nasdaq had been down nearly 30 points.

Technically I don't see neither the fear on the market. Yesterday during the day the US futures was massively in the negative territory, but by closure they recovered. In the last 2 weeks the Dow lost closely 5%, which is huge. The knife is still falling, but stopped yesterday. Almost 12 days in row falling. Maybe the Dow will test the key support level at 14.800.
