BREAKING UPDATE
The narrow 217–214 vote happened in the House, not the Senate — and that distinction matters for markets.
What’s important right now:
A government shutdown is avoided, at least for the moment
Political uncertainty is delayed, not resolved
Short-term risk pressure eases slightly
Liquidity conditions get a small but real relief
Markets don’t require flawless governance. They need continuity.
By removing an immediate shutdown threat, a near-term macro risk is taken off the table.
This isn’t bullish excitement.
It’s simply one less catalyst for fear to drive today’s price action.
