Wall Street Rises as Shutdown Fears Ease

U.S. stocks climbed on Monday as optimism grew that lawmakers are moving closer to ending the government shutdown. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all posted gains, buoyed by investor confidence that a recent vote in Congress could pave the way for a resolution. The rally was broad-based, with technology, financials, and consumer sectors leading the charge. Analysts noted that easing political uncertainty often sparks renewed risk appetite, and Monday’s session reflected that trend. While concerns remain about the long-term economic impact of the shutdown, traders welcomed signs of progress in Washington. Market watchers say continued momentum will depend on whether a final agreement is reached swiftly, but for now, Wall Street is breathing a sigh of relief.
