Bullion-backed ETFs experienced their largest monthly inflows in over three years in September. Companies Mentioned: Exxon Mobil, Intel, NVIDIA, Confluent

Fears of a strong A.I.-fueled rally puts an end to a seven-day winning streak for the S&P 500 but gold shows no sign of stopping, breaking through the symbolic $4000/oz level. The U.S. government shutdown enters its second week with little hope of any breakthrough. President Trump has hinted he could deny back-pay for certain federal workers.

Investors might be witnessing the biggest industrial reshoring effort in more than a generation. The global race for technological superiority—particularly around AI and critical semiconductors—is pushing both private capital and government support into ramping up domestic production. Meanwhile, shifting trade policies and geopolitical risk have ignited a realignment in global supply chains impacting a wide array of industries, from furniture to automobiles. But moving factories and building out domestic manufacturing capacity will likely face some speedbumps amid mismatches in labor, materials and costs. New innovations like factory automation bring their own set of implementation challenges. Understanding how the manufacturing outlook is evolving will be crucial as investors sort out potential winning and losing regions and industries. As factories prepare for the future, institutional investors are well positioned to provide the long-term capital that manufacturers seek to modernize operations, create more resilient supply chains, and grow.  This episode of The Outthinking Investor takes a deep dive into trade imbalances and tariffs; how manufacturers are dealing with macro uncertainty; manufacturing's role in supporting labor markets and the broader economy; potential obstacles that could slow reshoring; and portfolio strategies for capturing opportunities amid a manufacturing renaissance.    Our guests are:  Robert Lawrence, Albert L. Williams Professor of International Trade and Investment at Harvard Kennedy School and former member of the Council of Economic Advisers  Julius Krein, editor of policy journal American Affairs and head of policy at the New American Industrial Alliance  Josh Shipley, executive managing director and head of Europe at PGIM, overseeing corporate finance offices in the region  Do you have any comments, suggestions, or topics you would like us to cover?

Overview: Tune into this week's episode of Launch Financial as we discuss record highs in the markets led by tech and the AI bubble, as investors simultaneously look for more answers and clarity on the government shut down as it heads into its second week.  Show Notes: 

US equity futures are firmer with S&P up 0.25%. Asia equities trading mixed, European equity markets are lower. US 10-year yield add 2 bps at 4.14%. Dollar seeing decent gains versus Japanese yen, firmer versus euro and sterling. Softer versus Aussie. Oil gains. Gold at new high. Bitcoin also logged new record high.

A recent media report said the White House is increasingly concerned that allowing ACA healthcare subsidies to expire will become a political vulnerability for Republicans, worry GOP will take blame for allowing healthcare costs to jump ahead of next year's midterms. Potential for mass firings of federal workers remains a key market overhang given potential for economic implications beyond shutdown period.

The US government shutdown remained the main headline focus, though markets have treated it as noise for now.
