- AI Faces A Higher Hurdle, Not An Extinction Event After Democrats' Midterm Sweep, Says Saxo Strategist
Democrats won control of both the House and Senate, which could limit President Donald Trump's legislative agenda over his remaining two years and add uncertainty for AI and tech stocks, according to Saxo. Chief Investment Strategist Charu Chanana flagged three risks: greater congressional oversight of AI companies, data-center restrictions over electricity, water use and permits, and uncertainty over capital spending. Investors may demand more on the funding and profitability of AI infrastructure, shifting attention toward companies showing meaningful returns. Saxo suggested that firms using AI to boost productivity without heavy infrastructure spending could attract more interest, and that Nvidia's (NVDA) upcoming earnings would be a more meaningful test of the AI outlook than the election itself.
- Market Chatter: Data Center Developers May Face Tighter Rules After Democratic Wins
- Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures sink after Democrats take control of House, Senate
Dow Jones futures rose 0.6%, S&P 500 futures gained 0.2% and Nasdaq-100 futures were just above flat after Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, paving the way for a divided government. Markets quickly repriced the possibility of ballot measures and newly elected officials restricting data center construction. Chip stocks including Nvidia (NVDA) and Micron (MU) fell more than 1%, while AMD (AMD) rose 6% in premarket trading after beating expectations with its Q3 earnings. Investors are also watching for actions on housing and pharmaceuticals after the election, and the economic calendar includes ADP private payrolls and ISM activity data.
- Trump Claims GOP Would Have Won ‘Landslide’ With Him On Ballot — Analyst Sees ‘Absolute Bloodbath’ For AI Stocks
President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that Republicans would have won 'in a landslide' had he been on the midterm ballot, as Democrats took Senate control and were projected to win the House. Overnight, SPY fell 0.8%, QQQ lost 1.2%, DIA slipped 0.5%, Trump Media (DJT) tumbled over 6% to $6.30, and index futures also declined. Democrats flipped Republican-held seats in six states, though final seat totals remain unsettled. World Trade Securities CEO Nicholas Mugalli warned of a 'bloodbath' for AI investors, citing possible tougher regulation of AI data centers in Texas, while economist Peter Schiff argued Democrats could become Trump's scapegoat if the economy deteriorates.
- Hyperscalers and Apple surge after election results remove investor uncertainty
Many large technology companies surged on Wednesday after Democrats won a major victory in the midterm elections, flipping both the House and Senate. During trading, Amazon rose 8%, Google over 6%, Microsoft 4%, Meta 3%, and Apple nearly 7%. David Kelly of JPMorgan Asset Management said a divided government would bring moderation in growth and inflation and less uncertainty. By contrast, stocks tied to Trump advisor Elon Musk and the AI data center buildout fell, with Tesla down 2%, SpaceX down 3%, Nvidia down just over 1%, and CoreWeave down 10%. Voters opposed AI data center measures in 40 of 41 local ballot measures, and 56% of voters in a CNBC poll said data centers were a crucial or major factor in their vote.
- AI data center stocks and Musk's companies take hits as Democrats take control
The show discussed Democrats retaking both chambers of Congress, with projections of 55 Senate seats and around 255 House seats, including key races in Texas. Defiance ETFs CIO Sylvia Jablonski said markets seemed reassured that tax and spending plans could be put on hold, while cost of living was the top concern for 89% of exit poll respondents. Congress controls federal spending and could use funding fights to pressure the administration, though President Trump retains veto power. Government funding expires on December 11, setting up a major fight in January, and Dow futures, which had been red overnight, were back to green and up nearly 1,000 points this morning.

- Snap shares fall over 10% on third-quarter revenue miss
Snap shares fell more than 10% after parent company Snapchat's third-quarter revenue and daily active users missed analyst expectations. Revenue was $1.72 billion versus $1.73 billion expected per LSEG, and global daily active users were 495 million versus 499 million expected per StreetAccount. Average revenue per user (ARPU) was $3.48, in line with expectations, while revenue rose 14% year over year and net income was $56 million, compared with a $104 million net loss a year earlier. Snap guided fourth-quarter revenue to $1.95 billion to $1.99 billion, with a midpoint above Wall Street's $1.95 billion estimate. The company also said that starting in the first quarter of 2027 it will make global monthly active users its “primary audience metric,” arguing a longer-term horizon better reflects its product and safety decisions.
- Apple Reportedly Tightens the Belt On Employee AI Budgets Amid Cost-Cutting Drive
According to Bloomberg, Apple is tightening employee spending on AI tools by lowering daily usage caps as part of a broader cost-cutting drive. Last month, the daily allowance for select engineers fell from $300 to $200, and the company is reportedly planning deeper cuts that could bring some engineering teams to $100 and non-engineering departments, which mostly already have a $100 limit, to $25. Staff needing higher limits for critical work must seek exemptions from senior management. Apple declined to comment. The move comes as research and development spending rose 32% in fiscal 2026 and operating expenses climbed 22% to $75.5 billion, while CEO John Ternus pushes for a faster, leaner company with fewer management layers.
- Could Buying Bitcoin Today Set You Up For Life?
Bitcoin rose from $1 in February 2011 to over $100,000 by December 2024, but it is now down 38% from its all-time high of $126,000. The article examines price targets: Cathie Wood's $1 million target for 2030 would require 88% annualized growth, and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong's $300,000 target would need nearly 40% a year, compared with Bitcoin's 37% compound annual growth over the past decade. JPMorgan Chase suggests Bitcoin might grow at a compound annual rate of 10% over the next decade, or 17% in an ultra-bullish scenario. At 10% annual growth, a $10,000 investment would be worth roughly $25,000 after a decade, which the author argues is not life-changing wealth. The piece concludes that Bitcoin may not be able to carry a portfolio's performance on its own if expectations are too high.
- How Aussie Bitcoiners can avoid 2027’s shock CGT hike: Part 1
Australia's recently announced budget scrapped the 50% capital gains discount for all investments, so from July 1, 2027, gains will be taxed at full income tax rates: 30% on income and gains between A$45,000 and A$135,000, 37% between A$135,000 and A$190,000, and 47% above that. Low-income earners who are not on welfare face a minimum 30% rate, and the only remaining discount covers inflation. In an example of buying Bitcoin for A$10,000 and selling a decade later for A$100,000, the inflation discount is only about A$3,439, so taxable gains rise from A$45,000 under the old system to A$86,561. The article outlines options such as hoping for a strong market rally before July 1, 2027, voting for parties pledging to reverse the changes, or moving holdings into a self-managed super fund (SMSF).
- Dow scores its best day in 18 months in a broad relief rally after Democrats sweep to power in Congress
Stocks surged, oil prices plunged and bond yields fell on Wednesday. The move was attributed to optimism that the Iran war could end sooner now that Democrats have won control of Congress.
- The economy brought Trump back to power. Now it's his downfall
Democrats won control of both the House and Senate in Tuesday's midterm elections, ending the Republican Party's trifecta of power in the federal government as voters focused on the cost of living. The CNBC Voter Poll found nearly nine out of 10 voters said the cost of living was a crucial or major factor, and about two out of three said Trump's policies worsened economic conditions. Gas averaged $4.15 a gallon on election day, the highest for any midterm or presidential election since at least 2000, and prices have surged about 37% over the past year amid the Middle East conflict. Zandi estimated that higher energy costs since the start of the Iran war have cost the average household nearly $1,230, while rising borrowing costs and expanded military services added more than $900. The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment survey fell in 2026 to its worst level in its seven-decade history.
