U.S. Government Shutdown Looms as Senate Passes Spending Bill

Key Points:
  • Senate passes a spending bill, government shutdown imminent.
  • House to consider bill on Monday.
  • Federal operations face potential disruptions without fast action.

The White House directed U.S. government agencies to prepare for a shutdown on January 31 as Congress failed to pass the necessary funding legislation in time.

The impending shutdown affects major federal agencies, potentially disrupting services until Congress finalizes funding, though no direct impact on cryptocurrencies or digital assets is noted.

Senate Passes Spending Bill; Shutdown Preparations Underway

Russ Vought, the Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, informed department heads to execute orderly shutdown plans as Congress missed the funding deadline. Agencies including the Department of Defense and Treasury are affected.

Immediate implications include potential operational disruptions across various federal departments, pending the passage of the Senate’s spending bill in the House on Monday, February 2.

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing.

The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
