U.S. House Approves Draft Bill to Reopen Government After 43-Day Shutdown

On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to advance a bill aimed at reopening the federal government, marking a significant step toward resolving the crisis that has halted government operations for 43 days.

The legislation seeks to fund federal agencies and restore normal operations after the shutdown delayed key economic reports and postponed numerous public services relied upon by citizens.

This vote represents an initial move, paving the way for a final House vote on the bill at a later date. It sends a clear signal to the public and investors that there is growing political consensus to end the shutdown and restore stability to federal operations.

Analysts say this development could boost market confidence and support risk assets, following a prolonged period of uncertainty that has left investors on edge.
