Weekly Washington Policy Pulse: Lame Duck Deal, Crypto Clarity, Tariffs (October 26, 2026)

Dela

Democrats winning in the US midterm elections would likely means President Donald Trump turns up the pressure on his fellow Republicans to pass a reconciliation bill that increases the debt limit beyond the end of his administration -- combined with billions in funds earmarked for war in Middle East and aid to US farmers. Yet with a debt ceiling fight potentially coming in mid- to late 2027, we ascertain just a 30% chance of passage. Also on the Oct. 26 Bloomberg Intelligence Washington Policy Pulse, we discussed the latest from regulators on cryptocurrency rules, including a final stablecoin regulation that may spark further deposit flight from the banking sector. Finally, we updated clients on the latest on tariff negotiations among Canada, the US and Mexico.

The Bloomberg Intelligence Financial Policy weekly call is designed to provide investors an opportunity to learn about the most recent relevant policy research, information regarding forthcoming political catalysts and other on-goings within Washington DC.  

The call is open to all and is held every Monday at 10:00 a.m. EST. You can register for the call here: https://bloomberg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN__PqCkwY-S2m3hbQqvVC1_Q#/registration
