0713 GMT - Bitcoin edges higher as the prolonged U.S. government shutdown and political uncertainty elsewhere drives investors toward alternative assets. The U.S. government shutdown is well into its second week and has started to disrupt businesses, with some companies facing payment delays and considering layoffs. In France, President Emmanuel Macron is expected to name a new prime minister Friday to replace Sebastien Lecornu after he resigned less than a month into the role, although uncertainty remains elevated. Bitcoin rises 0.1% to $121,339, having reached a record high of $126,223 Monday, LSEG data show. (renae.dyer@wsj.com)
