White House is considering a short-term deal to avert a government shutdown while negotiations continue with Democrats over reforms to ICE, Politico reports

• White House is now directly involved, and apparently keen to avert a second shutdown. 
• Sources told Playbook that key sticking points remain, and nothing has been agreed. 
• Politico also notes that even if an agreement to separate the DHS bill is reached, “hard-liners in the House are threatening to throw up hurdles.” But things are clearly moving fast.

The White House's consideration of a short-term deal to prevent a government shutdown suggests heightened urgency to address fiscal stability, which could influence market sentiment. However, ongoing negotiations and resistance from hard-liners indicate potential volatility as investors weigh the likelihood of an agreement. Overall, markets may react cautiously, with a focus on the implications for broader economic policy and government operations.
