🚨 DEMOCRATS JUST TOOK BOTH CHAMBERS OF CONGRESS. WALL STREET IS ON ALERT.
Democrats flipped the House and Senate, delivering a major political setback to Donald Trump.
Their victory could reshape US policy on healthcare, tariffs, government spending and AI regulation.
But there's a catch: Trump still has veto power, and Democrats lack the votes to override it.
Markets reacted immediately:
📉 S&P 500 futures fell 1.4%. 📉 Nasdaq 100 futures dropped 2.4%. 📉 Tech stocks faced the biggest pressure. 📉 10-year Treasury yields eased towards 4.93%.
Interestingly, political gridlock could benefit bond markets by limiting government spending.
History offers some optimism: The S&P 500 has gained in the 12 months following all 19 midterm elections since 1950, averaging around 15%.
THE BIG TEST: DECEMBER 11. Government funding expires, potentially triggering another shutdown battle.
Washington's political fight could become Wall Street's next major market catalyst.
