@ @ dowdy live at cnbc world headquarters. wall street is set to open lower this morning as investors watch

what happens with the government shutdown. the markets are coming off of a positive week, the dow, nasdaq and s&p 500 all posting three street weekly gains. look for data this week on home sales, durable goods and fourth quarter gdp. plenty of earnings including netflix out this afternoon. on friday the dow rose to 26,071. the nasdaq up 40 to 7,336. wall street believes the government shutdown will have a minimal impact on the economy if it's resolved soon, but a prolonged standoff could take a toll. about 850,000 federal workers may be furloughed which would reduce spending on their wages by about $1.5 billion a week, but if the shutdown is brief the economy would recover as those employees receive back pay. a shutdown could also affect business and consumer confidence and potentially delay the start of the tax filing season. amazon will open its new store powered by artificial
