JUST IN: The U.S. Senate has officially passed a bill to keep the government running, stepping in just in time to avoid a shutdown. For now, federal services stay open, workers stay paid, and markets can breathe a little easier.

It’s not a long-term fix, but it buys time and removes a major short-term risk that had everyone on edge. Moments like this remind us how closely politics and markets are tied, one vote can shift sentiment fast. Crisis delayed, uncertainty still in the room.
