Frantic US political attempts to avert a federal debt default have pivoted back to the Senate after plans in the House of Representatives collapsed.
Upper chamber leaders resumed work overnight on a deal to raise the US borrowing limit and end a partial government shutdown.
Amid the congressional disarray, a top ratings agency warned of a possible downgrade in US creditworthiness.
The US must raise its $16.7tn (£10.5tn) debt limit by Thursday or risk default.
Politicians, bankers and economists have warned of global economic consequences unless an agreement can be reached.
The Democratic-controlled Senate took control on Tuesday night, working on a bipartisan deal that aides said would extend the federal borrowing limit until 7 February and fund the government to mid-January.

Many people do not realize that adult stem cells play a key role in the natural renewal of your body and are essential for the maintenance and repair of organs and tissue throughout your lifetime.
Due to factors such as age, stress, pollution and poor diet, there is a reduction in the release and activity of adult stem cells, which may lead to a decline in the natural ability of your body to maintain optimal health.
Stemtech’s clinically studied stem cell nutrition line of products is designed to help support three most important aspects of stem cell physiology: the release, circulation and migrations of stem cells.

Most people who blog at Tumfweko have brains of 5 year old children. How can you be uninterested in the closure of the world’s leading economy? Illiteracy is indeed a sin!
