🔹 Shutdown hit fast
• Funding deadlines expired suddenly
• Federal services slowed, workers faced uncertainty
• Even short shutdowns damage confidence and operations
🔹 Trump signs funding bill
• Government officially reopens
• Pay restored, agencies resume work
• This was a reset — not a long-term fix
🔹 What the deal covers
• Most departments funded through the fiscal year
• Defense, transportation, labor back to normal
• Passed by a narrow House margin — urgency, not unity
🔹 What’s still unresolved
• Homeland Security only received short-term funding
• Major disagreements over oversight and enforcement remain
• Decision was to delay the hardest debates
🔹 Why this matters for markets
• Shutdowns create backlogs and uncertainty
• Businesses and investors hate frozen government functions
• Quick reopening helped stabilize sentiment
🔹 Trump’s role
• Helped push the deal through a divided House
• Ended the shutdown — but not the political conflict behind it
📌 Conclusion:
Washington stopped the crisis, not the cycle. The government is open, workers are back — but another deadline is already coming. Stability is temporary, negotiations continue, and markets stay alert.
