Senate Move to Reopen Government Lifts Risk Assets as Bitcoin Tops $106,000

Markets also reacted to President Trump's proposed $2,000 'tariff dividend' that investors view as potential stimulus.

Overview

  • The Senate advanced a continuing resolution in a 60–40 vote, sending the measure to the House and leaving final enactment contingent on the president's signature.
  • Bitcoin jumped past $106,000 as traders rotated into risk assets, with equities, gold and silver also moving higher.
  • President Trump announced a proposed $2,000 tariff-funded payment for every American citizen, which has not been enacted.
  • The shutdown has lasted 41 days, and the Congressional Budget Office estimates up to $14 billion in lost GDP from delayed spending.
  • Prediction markets assign high odds to an official end this week, and commentators cite large post-shutdown Bitcoin rallies in 2018 and 2019 while cautioning that such moves can lag broader recoveries.
