Markets expect Democrats to sweep both chambers, with prediction markets pricing a blue wave at roughly 66%–77%. Equities are positioned for a muted reaction: JPMorgan sees the S&P 500 moving between -0.5% and +0.5% on a Democratic sweep, while a split Congress (Democrats House, Republicans Senate) could lift stocks 0.5%–1%. Sector bets favor clean energy and healthcare, while AI, defense, and financials face regulatory scrutiny. The key risk is a delayed result—options markets are pricing only ~1.2x normal volatility, leaving room for a contested count to rattle already-edgy markets.
