US stock indexes settled mostly higher on Tuesday, with the S&P 500 posting a 1-week high and the Dow Jones Industrials posting a 1.5-week high. Optimism that the US government shutdown is nearing an end is supporting stocks. After the Senate voted 60-40 on Monday to pass a temporary continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government, the House is expected to vote on the measure on Wednesday, and House Speaker Johnson said he expects it will pass quickly. If approved, the bill goes to President Trump, who said he will sign it into law.
