House passes bill to fund government from 10/1 to 12/11, ensuring no government shutdown before the election. 370-48 vote a clear indicator that neither party saw any political advantage to a shutdown. Passing it is basically the last thing Congress had to do before November.

Super helpful explainer here about some of what’s going on in the bond market from my colleague @alexandraandnyc
After this week's bond market drama, we at @SchwabResearch, @CharlesSchwab thought it was a good time to explain what Treasury buybacks are and why they matter now.

Staring at the clock on my computer, waiting for it to hit 2 pm so we can get the Fed decision. Reminds me of watching my kids when they knew one of the colleges they applied to was going to drop the admissions decision at the top of the hour.
