**Senate leaders advanced a bipartisan continuing resolution in early August 2026 that would extend current funding levels through mid-December, directly addressing the September 30 deadline for fiscal year 2027 appropriations.** The measure cleared the Senate 90-6 and aligns with separate House action, positioning Congress to enact a short-term stopgap before the end of the fiscal year. Both parties have signaled reluctance to risk a lapse near the midterm elections, favoring procedural extensions over confrontation. This legislative momentum, following repeated use of continuing resolutions in prior cycles, underpins traders’ strong consensus against an October 1 appropriations lapse.
