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.

Canada and Greece Strengthen Ties: Prime Minister Trudeau Hosts Greek Counterpart

 

Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau welcomed the Prime Minister of the Hellenic Republic, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, to Montréal. The occasion? Greek Independence Day, a celebration of freedom, resilience, and shared values.

Canada and Greece share a deep-rooted history. Our common commitment to democracy, human rights, and the rule of law has forged an enduring friendship. As NATO Allies and transatlantic partners, we stand shoulder to shoulder, advancing international peace, security, and development.

Climate change knows no borders. Together, we pledge to tackle its impact through the NATO Climate Change and Security Center of Excellence in Montréal. We’ll work to make countries more resilient, addressing crises like climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.

Canada applauds Greece’s recent legalization of same-sex marriages. We reaffirm our commitment to supporting LGBTQ rights at home and around the world. Additionally, we collaborate on Women, Peace, and Security initiatives.

The Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) has opened doors for Greek and Canadian businesses. Since its provisional application in 2017, trade between our nations has grown by 80%. We see immense potential for further growth in sectors like aerospace, defense, security, professional training, and tourism.

In a significant move, Greece and the Canadian Commercial Corporation signed an agreement for Greece to acquire seven state-of-the-art DHC-515 firefighting aircraft. These planes will combat devastating forest fires that increasingly ravage Southern Europe. This collaboration exemplifies our dynamic trade and economic partnership.

As we deepen our friendship, let us continue working together to promote peace, stability, and prosperity worldwide.
