Washington may be able to avoid a government shutdown by the upcoming Friday deadline, but that doesn't mean Congress — or the markets — are quite in the clear. House Speaker Mike Johnson said on CNBC's " Squawk Box " on Tuesday that he expects enough lawmakers on both sides to pass his two-step "laddered" continuing resolution. The continuing resolution plan would extend federal funding for some government agencies until mid-January, while other agencies would be funded through early February. The House is expected to vote on the continuing resolution around 4:30 p.m. That doesn't mean that you're not going to have the showdown — it just means that this is the prologue," Salisbury said.

Companies U.S. House of Representatives FollowWASHINGTON, Jan 12 (Reuters) - The U.S. House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a bill on Thursday to ban releases of oil from the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve from being exported to China, though the measure faces an uncertain future in the Senate. The bill passed 331-97 in the House, which Republicans took narrow control of this month. Through October last year U.S. oil companies exported nearly 67 million barrels of oil to China. But in all of 2020, when Republican Donald Trump was president, the United States exported 176 million barrels to China. U.S. House lawmakers also voted overwhelming this week to create a select committee on China to counter Beijing's growing international influence.

☆ Analysis: Chaos in Congress sends an ominous signal to Wall Street

New York CNN —Many on Wall Street cheered last fall when the midterm elections ushered in a return of divided government in Washington. But the historic dysfunction playing out in Congress this week is a reminder that you should be careful what you wish for. Buckle up for debt ceiling brinksmanshipBut lawmakers did not agree to tackle the debt ceiling, the borrowing limit that must be raised to avoid a calamitous US debt default. In the past, brinksmanship over the debt ceiling eventually gave way to a compromise, though often not until significant pressure was applied by business leaders, financial markets — or both. Andrew Frankel, co-president of Stuart Frankel, dismissed the House speaker race as a “big, fat nothing-burger” for the market and said it was “just noise.”“It’s all about the Fed,” Frankel said.
