U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a bill officially reopening the federal government, ending the 43-day shutdown—the longest in U.S. history. The legislation passed the House of Representatives by a 222–209 vote, following earlier approval by the Senate.

The deal restores funding for essential federal services, including air-traffic control, federal-worker salaries, and food assistance programs, all of which had been disrupted during the shutdown. Analysts say the reopening is expected to support fuel demand in the United States, particularly from aviation and road transport ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Despite the positive political development, oil prices showed little immediate reaction. WTI crude traded at $58.37 per barrel, while Brent slipped to $62.62, as oversupply concerns continue to weigh on the global market. Traders are also closely watching the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s inventory report, following a modest build reported by the American Petroleum Institute.

“The government reopening removes a major political risk and may support modest demand growth,” noted market observers. “However, the broader outlook for oil remains cautious due to global supply pressures.”

While the immediate impact on crude prices is limited, analysts say the development clears the way for improved economic activity in the U.S., which could gradually support oil consumption in the coming weeks.
