  Today marks the 36th day of the ongoing government shutdown, officially making it the lengthiest in US history. The previous recordholder was the 35-day shutdown during President Trump’s first term in 2018–2019.
  
  The shutdown’s effects are mounting, as many Americans are forced to go without their usual federal assistance and flight delays increasingly snarl airports. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said there could be “mass chaos” next week if the shutdown continues. But there may be some hope: Senate leaders suggested yesterday that they’re getting closer to a deal that would reopen the government.

  Mamdani will be NYC’s next mayor after big night for Democrats. The Associated Press called the race for Zohran Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, at 9:34pm ET. The 34-year-old received 50.4% of the votes with 91% of ballots counted, beating former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo (who ran as an independent), who received 41.6% of the vote, and Republican Curtis Sliwa, who received 7.1% When sworn in on Jan. 1, Mamdani will become the city’s first Muslim mayor. He’ll also be the first person of South Asian descent to lead the city. Democrats won the other major contests around the country, including for the governorships of Virginia and New Jersey.

• S&P 500 and Nasdaq book worst day in over 3 weeks as tech stocks skid
  U.S. stocks fell sharply on Tuesday, with the S&P...

  U.S. stocks fell sharply on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indexes both logging their biggest daily declines in more than three weeks.

  
  

  A look under the surface, however, showed that more speculative parts of the market, including crypto, were hit particularly hard by selling pressures.

  
  

  The S&P 500 fell 80.42 points, or 1.2%, closing at 6,771.55.

  
  

  The Nasdaq Composite ended 2% lower, shedding 486.09 points at 23,348.64.

  
  

  The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished 251.44 points lower, or 0.5%, at 47,085.24.

  
  

  Bitcoin was down about 5.6%, after briefly dipping below the $100,000 mark earlier in the day.

  
  

  It was the biggest daily percentage drop for the S&P 500 and Nasdaq since Oct. 10, according to Dow Jones Market Data.

• Viper Energy to Sell Non-Permian Assets for $670MM
  Viper Energy has...

  Viper Energy has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its non-Permian Basin assets for $670 million to an affiliate of GRP Energy Capital and Warwick Capital Partners.

  
  

  The divestiture is expected to close during the first quarter with an effective date of Sept. 1, 2025. The full-year average daily production from the assets is between 9,000 boe/d and 10,000 boe/d, the company said in a third-quarter performance news release on Nov. 3.

  
  

  Viper, a subsidiary of the dominant Permian pureplay Diamondback Energy, will continue to allocate most of its available cash available for distribution via its base-plus-variable dividend. But share buybacks will also be part of the firm’s shareholder return calculus, said Van’t Hof, “given the current market dislocation.”

  
  

  During the third quarter, Viper’s growth strategy was bolstered by its closing of the $4.1 billion acquisition of Sitio Royalties. The pro forma production guidance implies an increase in oil close to 20% per share compared to the fourth quarter of 2024.
