Wall Street rebounded on Monday, recovering part of last week's steep losses as investors grew more confident about risk assets amid encouraging signs from Washington that the record-long government shutdown may soon conclude. • PLTR is charging ahead with explosive momentum. Check the full analysis here. During a procedural vote on Sunday, the Senate approved the initial step toward reopening the government, reaching the 60-vote threshold required to advance the bill. Eight Democratic senators sided with Republicans, easing their earlier insistence on including a guaranteed extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies. Betting markets now suggest the shutdown could end as early as midweek, with odds favoring a resolution by Wednesday or Thursday. Technology stocks — hit hard last week by renewed fears of an AI bubble — staged a strong comeback. The Nasdaq 100 climbed nearly 1.5%, marking its best day in two weeks. Palantir Technologies Inc. (NYSE:PLTR), which sank more than 11% the previous week, jumped 6.2% for its strongest performance since July. The S&P 500 gained 0.8%, the Russell 2000 rose 0.7%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average added a modest 0.1%. In commodities, gold and silver led the advance, benefiting from safe-haven demand amid rising government debt levels. The rally in precious metals lifted mining shares, sending the VanEck Gold Miners ETF (NYSE:GDX) up more than 4%. Meanwhile, in cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) edged up 0.3% to reclaim the $105,000 mark, while Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) slipped 1.5% to $3,520.
