The US dollar index has fallen nearly 10% this year, and the US government shutdown has caused losses of over US$11 billion.

the US Congressional Budget Office estimated that the government shutdown from the end of 2018 to early 2019 caused approximately $11 billion in economic losses. Due to market concerns about the risk of the US federal government shutting down, the US dollar index fell by about 0.1% overnight, and has fallen by nearly 10% so far this year. In addition, a government shutdown may trigger market concerns about the US credit rating, as the three major rating agencies have repeatedly warned about the fiscal and budget risks in the US.
