- Dow Jones futures surge 1,000 points after Democratic win, Trump makes surprising new move
Dow Jones futures jumped as much as 1,083 points, or 2.1%, after Democrats won majorities in both the House and Senate in the midterm elections and took several key governorships, including Texas. The result could curb President Trump's policies, which combined business tax cuts with tariffs and the war in Iran, contributing to higher inflation. S&P 500 futures rose 1.1%, while Nasdaq-100 gained only 0.4% as AI-linked stocks came under pressure. Trump told the New York Times he was “fully prepared” to accept the results and said he and Republican lawmakers would work with Democrats, while Walmart rose 2%, Bank of America 1.9%, UnitedHealth 1.4% and Molina Healthcare 6.3%. Investors remain wary of possible restrictions on data center construction, as Gina Hinojosa, who pledged to pause new data center projects, won the Texas governor's race.

As of November 4, domestic investors had net bought over VND 123,000 billion on HoSE since early 2026, excluding IPOs, rights offerings and private placements. The figure is nearly equal to the record net buying for all of 2025.

Margin debt at end-Q3 was estimated at about VND 440,000 billion, up VND 5,000 billion in a quarter and an all-time high; growth slowed partly due to high interest rates, but this could change if rates fall.

- Jim Cramer says this bank stock is a buy after its post-election pullback
Stocks rallied Wednesday after a decisive Democratic victory in the midterms, as investors bet that Democratic control of both the House and Senate could slow AI data center buildout and benefit hyperscalers such as Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Microsoft. Micron slipped 6% and CoreWeave dropped 9%. Capital One fell nearly 3% despite a broader financial rally, as investors weighed the possibility that Democrats could renew efforts to cap credit card interest rates; Jim Cramer dismissed the likelihood of such a proposal becoming law, said the sell-off created an opportunity in COF, but cautioned against rushing in before the market settles. Cardinal Health and Kimberly-Clark report earnings Thursday morning; Jim remains positive on Cardinal's business while noting the stock can be volatile around earnings, and sees Kimberly-Clark's completed Kenvue acquisition as an opportunity to strengthen its longer-term prospects.
- Marvell Stock Has Plunged 46% Since Jensen Huang Called It the Next $1 Trillion Company. Here's Why.
Marvell shares traded at $171 as of Nov. 2, down 46% from their peak, after Jensen Huang called the company the next trillion-dollar company in early June. The sell-off followed Marvell's agreement to acquire optical networking specialist Lumentum (LITE) in an all-stock deal with an implied enterprise value of about $115 billion, in which Marvell will issue 4.5 new shares for each Lumentum share. After the transaction, Marvell shareholders would own 67% of the combined company, a dilution the article says explains the negative market reaction. The author argues the deal could bring more than $1 billion in annual run-rate cost synergies and be accretive to adjusted EPS in the first year, and that the combined addressable market could expand to $550 billion from a $400 billion forecast by calendar 2030.
