The bill’s passage through Congress’s upper chamber now leaves its fate in the hands of the House of Representatives, where it could still face considerable opposition
Donald Trump’s landmark tax and spending legislation moved a step closer to becoming law on Tuesday after the US Senate ended days of haggling and narrowly passed the so-called big, beautiful bill. The bill’s passage through Congress’s upper chamber now leaves its fate in the hands of the House of Representatives, where it could still face considerable opposition ahead of a looming July 4 deadline. The Senate approved the sweeping legislation, 51-50, after vice-president JD Vance cast the tiebreaking vote. The president celebrated the legislation’s progress and turned up the pressure on the House to approve it by the end of the week. He urged Republicans in the lower chamber to ignore “GRANDSTANDERS” and do “the right thing, which is sending this Bill to my desk” to be signed into law. Source: FT

That means U.S. banks can count physical gold, at 100% of its market value, toward their core capital reserves.
