U.S. stock index futures rose as they opened Sunday amid reports that Senate negotiators have reached a stopgap deal to end the record-long government shutdown.

Dow futures (INDU [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/INDU]) rose +0.3%, S&P futures (SPX [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/SPX]) gained +0.4%, and Nasdaq futures (US100:COMP) advanced +0.8%. Bitcoin (BTC-USD [https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/BTC-USD]) added +1.2% to hover just above $106,000.

According to multiple reports, a group of moderate Senate Democrats agreed to back a proposal that would reopen the government and fund several departments — including Agriculture, Veterans Affairs, and Congress — through the end of the fiscal year, while extending funding for other agencies through Jan. 30. The plan would also provide back pay for furloughed workers and resume suspended federal payments to states and localities.

House passage remains uncertain. Democratic leaders have criticized the deal for omitting an extension of expiring Obamacare subsidies. Republicans pledged to hold a vote on renewing those tax credits by mid-December but that is not guaranteed.

Prediction markets reflected growing optimism that the shutdown’s end is near. Polymarket now sees the shutdown lasting 41 days, down from 50 this morning, while Kalshi projects 43 days.
