Wall Street recorded an impressive rally yesterday following the Democrats' victory in the US midterm elections. The Dow Jones index surged by about 3%, the S&P 500 rose by 1.6%, and the Nasdaq added 1.4%. The main reason for the gains, according to the article, is not the election results themselves but President Donald Trump's response: he did not challenge the results and announced that he accepts them and is willing to cooperate with the Democrats. Futures initially fell and only began to recover after Trump acknowledged the results. Thomas Hempel from General Investments told CNBC that Trump's recognition helped the gains amid hopes of avoiding an escalation of political polarization. Louis Navellier from Navellier & Associates added that the market is also celebrating the possibility that the administration will not immediately attack Iran again. However, Alex Altman from Barclays warned that the elections do not resolve key questions such as returns on AI investments and financing costs. Jay Woods from Freedom Capital Markets noted that Trump is an unpredictable factor and that inflationary risks from the war in the Middle East still exist.
