**Congressional leaders advanced a bipartisan continuing resolution (CR) in early August 2026 to extend current FY2026 funding levels through December 11, 2026, or until full-year appropriations are enacted.** The Senate approved the measure 90-6 on August 8, incorporating targeted anomalies, program extensions, and a delay on an OMB uniform guidance rule, after the House had passed a shorter-term version in July. With Congress returning from recess in early September, negotiators have roughly four weeks to reconcile differences and send a bill to the President before the September 30 fiscal year-end. This timeline, combined with the broad Senate support and the recent pattern of using stopgap funding to prevent lapses, underpins trader consensus that a funding gap beginning October 1 is unlikely. While disputes over specific provisions or amendments could still arise, the current legislative momentum favors passage of the CR in time to maintain operations across federal agencies.
