Although an agreement was reached to reopen the U.S. government, the economic data expected today was not released and the market had a totally risk-off session despite the lack of news. U.S. equity indices fell between 1.5-2.5%, with the Nasdaq leading the decline, following falls in Europe and slight increases in Asia. Treasuries also fell, with yields rising 3bps as in Europe. In commodities, energy and metals basically closed slightly higher, while gold and silver fell along with agricultural items. VIX rose to 21, the highest level in a month.

Venezuelan bonds started the day down 0.5pts, but turned around completely, closing up 0.5-1pt, on reports from CBS, which published that military officials presented Trump and the cabinet with possible military options in Venezuela.

Latin American credits did not have much movement, highlighting a 0.5pt drop in Argentina, with the rest of the region between flat and down 0.25pts.
