US stock futures rise as shutdown resolution nears
US futures rally on prospects of ending the government shutdown, boosting risk sentiment and lifting S&P and Nasdaq contract levels.
US equity-index futures advanced as lawmakers edged closer to resolving the government shutdown, improving investor sentiment after a week of volatility. Futures for the S&P 500 climbed 0.7% and the Nasdaq 100 rose 1.2% amid signs that the Senate may approve a funding deal. Analysts noted that a resumption of federal operations would ease cash-flow constraints for government contractors and deliver relief to consumer confidence.
While risks remain until final approval, the development offers a short-term boost for global markets awaiting clearer policy signals.
