On Monday, Senate lawmakers reportedly approved a funding package that paves the way for an end to the ongoing government shutdown in a 60-40 majority and sent the bill to the House of Representatives for clearance. The stoppage has entered its 42nd day on Tuesday.

The House is expected to pass the bill as soon as Wednesday, according to media outlets, adding that it will then pass it on to President Donald Trump for his approval. The funding is expected to keep the government running through Jan. 30, NBC News reported.

"The bottom line is that the end of the government shutdown will help avoid a more severe (gross domestic product) and corporate earnings slowdown," Macquarie said in a note to clients Monday. "The end of the shutdown may also help ease the recent liquidity squeeze at commercial banks."

It's unclear if the ending of the shutdown will allow for the timely release of key economic data due this week, including the consumer and producer price inflation reports for October.
