Trump has revived his "tariff dividend" proposal (a $2000 check per person), the U.S. government shutdown crisis is nearing resolution (with fiscal spending expected to resume before December 11), and the probability of a Fed rate cut in December has surged to 95% (with markets even partially pricing in a 50-basis-point cut).
