US equities closed slightly higher on Tuesday as investors looked past worries about a potential government shutdown. The S&P 500 rose 0.4%, the Dow Jones gained 82 points to finish at new record, and the Nasdaq added 0.3%, reflecting cautious sentiment ahead of the expected funding lapse. Lawmakers have until midnight Wednesday to reach a deal, but a shutdown remains likely, potentially delaying key economic reports like September’s jobs data.
Investors remain wary amid slowing labor markets, weak consumer confidence, and high stock valuations. For the month, the S&P 500 gained 3%, the Dow 1%, and the Nasdaq 5%, while quarterly gains reached 7%, 5%, and 11%, respectively.
