Futures tied to the S&P 500 rose 0.5%, while Nasdaq 100 futures gained 0.9%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures added 0.2%. The move higher comes as investors watch closely for a deal in Washington.

Lawmakers spent the weekend negotiating an agreement to restore government funding after a 40-day shutdown that has disrupted federal services and delayed key economic data releases.

The prolonged shutdown has taken a toll on consumer confidence and the overall economy. The University of Michigan’s Consumer Sentiment Index dropped to its lowest reading in more than three years, hovering just above record lows.

Meanwhile, key inflation reports—including the Consumer Price Index (CPI), Producer Price Index (PPI), and the monthly jobs report—have been delayed due to the government closure.
