Wall Street climbs on hopes of ending the government shutdown

The Senate made tangible progress after Republicans and Democrats reached an agreement on a bill to fund the government through January 30, paving the way to end the record shutdown that began in early October.

AI-related stocks also rebounded, with renewed demand for companies such as Nvidia and Broadcom, despite ongoing warnings about a potential correction on Wall Street.
