Government Shutdown Drags On, S&P 500, Dow Futures Drop

U.S. stock futures fell on Tuesday following Monday’s advances. Futures of major benchmark indices were lower. The indices dropped as the possibility of a government shutdown neared, with the lawmakers having until Wednesday at 12:01 a.m. ET to reach an agreement. Meanwhile, Vice President JD Vance stated outside the White House that “I think we're headed to a shutdown because the Democrats won't do the right thing,” placing the blame on Democratic leaders for linking government funding to healthcare negotiations.
