After a historic 40-day shutdown, the U.S. government is poised to reopen following the passage of a crucial funding bill. The Senate passed this measure in a late-night vote on Monday, securing a 60-40 victory, and it now awaits approval by the House of Representatives before President Trump’s signature. This bill will ensure continued operations until January 31st, 2026. While the House won’t reconvene until Wednesday at earliest due to Tuesday being a federal holiday, Polymarket predicts a return to normalcy on Friday if the legislation passes. The shutdown has resulted in furloughs and reduced services across various government agencies. However, the SEC anticipates staff returning to normal duties on their next regularly scheduled workday following the funding bill’s enactment.
