US markets hit record highs despite shutdown
Leading US stock indexes ended last week at record highs despite concerns over a potential government shutdown. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted gains, buoyed by investor optimism that any funding stoppage would be brief and confidence in continued investments in artificial intelligence.
