The retail sales and industrial production declines represented only one occurrence and not a trend. Furthermore, the data was taken during the government shutdown which may have skewed the results. If so, then the effects of any short-term disruptions will smooth out over the long-term.

During the recent 35-day partial closure, U.S. industry suffered losses, especially the airlines sector. U.S. GDP growth was also negatively affected. The dollar could weaken because hedgers would be encouraged to reduce some of their safe-haven positions.
