“We will vote today to reopen the government to continue negotiating a global agreement [on immigration reform] with the commitment that if an agreement isn’t reached by February the 8th, the Senate will immediately proceed to consideration of legislation dealing with DACA,” Chuck Schumer, Democratic Minority Leader said on the Senate floor, per CNBC. “We expect that a bipartisan bill on DACA will receive fair consideration and an up or down vote on the floor.”

In the wake of the vote to re-open the non-essential parts of the federal government stocks soared to new highs today.  That will be our focus.
