A Democratic sweep of both chambers of the US Congress in the midterm elections has been confirmed, leading to a significant weakening of the US dollar to a one-month low and a broad sell-off in global equities, particularly in the technology sector. This market reaction is primarily driven by investor concerns over potential tighter AI regulation, increased political gridlock, and reduced fiscal stimulus, though the exact policy implications remain uncertain. Confidence in the market reaction and its drivers is Medium-High.
