Global Stocks Rise as Senate Advances Deal to End Record U.S. Shutdown

Investors are wagering that a bipartisan plan to fund federal operations through late January will clear the remaining steps.

Overview

  • The Republican-led Senate cleared a procedural hurdle to open debate on a bipartisan bill that would fund the government through January 30, which still needs House approval and President Donald Trump’s signature.
  • London’s FTSE 100 topped 9,800 intraday and closed at a record 9,787.15, as European benchmarks and MSCI’s global equities gauge advanced.
  • U.S. equities gained with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq higher, while the 10-year Treasury yield rose to about 4.11 percent as investors rotated toward risk.
  • The shutdown reached day 41, delaying official economic data and disrupting services, and a reopening would restart key releases that markets and the Federal Reserve have been missing.
  • Analysts said some agencies could reopen as soon as Friday if the deal progresses, while traders price roughly a two‑thirds chance of a December Fed rate cut despite mixed signals from officials.
