Wall Street started the week in the green, with the S&P 500 adding 0.6%, the Nasdaq rising 1.6%, and Dow Jones gaining over 280 points amid optimism that the government shutdown could soon end. In a procedural vote yesterday, the Senate advanced the first stage of a deal to reopen the government, securing the minimum 60 votes required. Eight Democratic senators broke with party leadership, dropping their key demand for a guaranteed extension of Obamacare subsidies. The proposal must still be debated and passed by the Senate and approved by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, where its passage remains uncertain. Technology and communication services led gains, both rising nearly 2% while consumer staples and real estate lagged behind. Among major movers, Nvidia climbed 3.6%, Palantir rose 3.8%, AMD gained 3.7%, and Micron Technology advanced 5.8%.
