Senate Votes to End Government Shutdown, Boosting Stock Markets
The Senate voted to advance a short-term funding bill in a close 60-40 vote, potentially paving the way to reopen the government. This vote boosted stock markets on Monday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising 380 points (0.8%), the S&P 500 climbing 1.5%, and the Nasdaq increasing by 2.2%. The progress on the shutdown, which had been affecting economic output and market uncertainty for over a month, was welcomed by investors. A potential resolution to the 41-day federal shutdown, pending approval in the Republican-controlled House, would restore jobs and backpay for thousands of federal employees and resume the collection and release of key government data.
