Trader consensus favors the DHS shutdown extending beyond March 31 at 66.1%, driven by stalled congressional negotiations on a full-year funding bill amid partisan disputes over spending levels and border security priorities. A short-term continuing resolution (CR) averting immediate lapse expired recently, heightening urgency, but House and Senate leaders have signaled no breakthrough before late March, with fiscal hawks resisting compromise. Recent developments include a failed procedural vote in the House on March 22 and White House veto threats against Republican-led proposals, lowering odds for resolution by March 24-27 (11.1%) while boosting near-term CR prospects for March 28-31 (22.7%). Upcoming markup sessions could shift dynamics, reflecting the wisdom of crowds in pricing prolonged uncertainty.
