Global shares rose on Monday on optimism that an end to the historic US government shutdown was in sight, while the dollar was nursing losses from last week.

The US Senate on Sunday moved forward on a measure aimed at reopening the federal government and ending a now 40-day shutdown that has sidelined federal workers, delayed food aid and snarled air travel.

The breakthrough helped push Nasdaq futures up 1.2% while S&P 500 futures rose 0.7%. Euro Stoxx 50 futures and DAX futures were up more than 1% each, while FTSE futures gained 0.85%.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was up 1% and Japan’s Nikkei advanced 0.97%.
