Sharp shift in market trends after the U.S. elections.
The Democrats’ decisive victory in the midterm elections triggered powerful tectonic shifts across global financial markets:
• 📉 Oil prices plunge: Brent and WTI crude prices plunged more than 8%, falling below $100 a barrel. Investors are pricing in a swift end to the U.S.-Iran war, as Democrats are likely to cut military spending.
• 📈 Wall Street rally: The Dow Jones surged 3% (+1,500 points), the S&P 500 gained 1.6%, and the Nasdaq rose 1.4%. The market breathed a sigh of relief as pre-election uncertainty lifted and lower fuel prices reduced business costs.
• ❌ Musk and defense sector hit: Tesla (-3.3%) and SpaceX (-3.8%) shares fell after Elon Musk’s sizable donations to Republicans failed to pay off. With peace on the horizon, defense giant Lockheed Martin lost 6.9%.
• 🌲 Green energy surges: First Solar shares jumped 4.6%, as a Democratic Party victory traditionally opens up new prospects for renewable energy.
