If the number of continuing resolutions for fiscal year 2027 that become law is at least 5 before October 1, 2027, then the market resolves to Yes.
A continuing resolution is a law providing continuing appropriations for any part of the 12 regular fiscal year 2027 appropriations areas. Each law counts once, however many areas it covers and however long it runs.
Counts toward the total:
A government-wide continuing resolution
One covering only some areas, or only specific programs and activities
A full-year continuing resolution
One enacted after a lapse in appropriations has begun
One enacted as a division of a broader law
Does NOT count:
A regular fiscal year 2027 appropriations act
A supplemental appropriations act
Continuing appropriations that do not cover fiscal year 2027
The count ends once all 12 regular fiscal year 2027 appropriations acts are law. A temporary government-wide extension does not end it. If all 12 never become law, the count is final on October 1, 2027.
For fiscal year 2025 the applicable number is 3, the last of which funded the remainder of that year.
