On November 10, 2025, US stocks experienced a notable rise as lawmakers took steps to resolve the longest government shutdown in history. The Senate voted 60-40 to advance a funding bill that would keep government operations running until the end of January. This move has reassured investors who have been anxious about signs of economic weakness and the high valuations of AI-related companies. In Asia, stock markets responded positively, with South Korea's KOSPI leading the gains at approximately 3%. Other indices, including Japan's Nikkei 225 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng, also saw significant increases. Despite this optimism, concerns remain about the overvaluation of AI stocks and the potential negative impact of tariffs on the US economy. Additionally, reports indicate a rise in layoffs, with October marking the worst month for job losses since 2003.
