Trump’s signing came Wednesday evening to end the 43-day government shutdown, after which federal employee salaries were restored and basic nutrition and food support programs resumed.
In contrast, U.S. futures saw no notable movement; As investors await the recovery of periodic economic data to help them reevaluate their interest rate expectations.

In Japan, the price of the Nikkei index rose 0.5% and the Topix index rose about 1% to an all-time high, as investors began shifting their money from shares of leading artificial intelligence companies to broader sectors of the economy.
As for Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index fell from its highest levels recorded during the month, while the Shanghai Composite Index gained 0.1%.
On Wall Street, American indices ended their trading with mixed performances. The Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded a local price spike, while the Nasdaq fell as profit-taking continued in technology stocks with huge market caps.
Finally, in Europe, the FTSE 100 index closed at an all-time high and bank gains helped push the STOXX 600 index to new highs, while Italy’s FTSE MIB index reached its highest level in around 25 years.
End of government shutdown paves way for resumption of regulatory oversight and review of exchange-traded funds (ETFs)
The movement of investments towards safe havens has diminished. US 10-year bond yields settled at 4.07% in the evening after the wave of demand subsided, while gold held its price above $4,200 during the Asian session after rising 3% overnight as traders balanced the possibility of an end to the government shutdown and lingering macroeconomic uncertainty.
The energy sector has also seen some decline; The price of Brent crude futures fell to a three-week low near $62.48 following OPEC’s expectations of running a small budget surplus in early 2026, signifying a decline in the strong demand narrative that helped support prices this week.
For digital asset traders, the clarity of the US financial landscape has removed one of the main sources of concern, although this is not immediately reflected in the market movement, as Bitcoin records a sideways movement with a general decrease in liquidity at the start of trading, while investment desks await the release of US economic data to pick up new signals on the direction of interest rates and risk appetite.
The end of the government shutdown also allows regulators and federal agencies to resume normal operations, which is necessary to resume oversight of digital assets, track exchange-traded fund (ETF) reviews, and implement regulatory enforcement schedules. Surprises in economic data could revise interest rate expectations and impact risk assets including cryptocurrencies.
The market is currently in a cautiously easing phase, as government reopening has helped stabilize market sentiment, while selective investors remain committed to their investments, awaiting a fresh financial start and clearer growth and inflation numbers and next steps from the Federal Reserve.
