The US government shutdown continues but financial markets are doing very well. This situation is unusual because government problems usually make investors worried. However, major stock markets in America and Europe are at record highs.

Bank of America data shows that global stocks received $26 billion in new money. Technology companies got a record $9.3 billion. This shows that investors still believe in tech growth.

The situation is like 'the best of times and the worst of times' - politics are bad but markets are good. Investors are looking at business performance instead of political problems. They think current political issues are temporary, not permanent economic threats.
