- 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.
- 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.
- Democrats surge toward Senate, House majorities, with crypto braced for new direction
- Democrats claim control of the US Senate
According to the AP, Democrats have won control of the Senate after Josh Turek won the Iowa race, bringing their total, including independents who caucus with them, to 51 seats. The shift could change the path of the stalled CLARITY Act, reshape committee leadership and bring closer scrutiny of Trump-linked crypto businesses and regulators' decisions. The CLARITY Act failed a Senate procedural vote 49 to 50 in September, and if it is not passed by January, the next Congress starts from scratch. Jerome de Tychey, president of Ethereum France, said nothing will pass without cross-partisan support and warned that the biggest risk for US crypto is becoming a partisan issue.

Wall Street should know by Wednesday morning how many Democrats will run the House, but it may not learn how many senators will back the deregulation agenda until around Thanksgiving.
- US midterms: Prediction markets favor Democrats in key crypto races
Kalshi and Polymarket priced a 75% chance that Democrats will sweep Congress, as nearly $1.9 billion in election-related contracts had traded by Monday, a record for a midterm cycle. In Ohio, a key crypto race, markets gave Sherrod Brown a 72% chance of winning, even though Defend American Jobs, part of the Fairshake super PAC network, spent $36.9 million supporting Jon Husted and $19.7 million opposing Brown. In Maine, Kalshi gave Democrat Troy Jackson a 71% chance of unseating Susan Collins, who voted against advancing the CLARITY Act. Markets also favored Democratic candidates in Alaska, Michigan and Texas, while Iowa remained a toss-up.

- What sets AMD data centers apart as Intel stock keeps sliding?
AMD beat Wall Street estimates for its third-quarter earnings, as AI data center revenue nearly doubled to $8.55 billion. Guests said Intel posted strong data center numbers but weak PC sales, and its stock plunged, while AMD's forward guidance, contracts, backlog and margins were seen as stronger. Revenue could grow 80% in 2027, up from an earlier estimate of 35%. They noted that higher memory prices and component costs were hurting PC demand, with 2027 PC shipments projected to fall by a double-digit percentage and gaming sales down 8% year-on-year. Commentators compared AMD's focus on data centers to Nvidia's shift from gaming chips to AI.
- 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.
- What i-80 Gold (IAU) Said on Its Q3 Earnings Call
i-80 Gold said the feasibility study for Granite Creek Underground is complete, outlining an 8.5-year mine life, while Archimedes is set to begin mining in Q4 2026. The Lone Tree refurbishment is on schedule for first gold in Q4 2027, with its $430 million capital estimate largely intact. The company expects production to rise from 40,000–50,000 ounces annually to 150,000–200,000 ounces from 2028, with 2026 output in the lower half of guidance. In Q3, Granite Creek produced about 9,100 ounces of gold, though processing lagged mining due to limited availability at a third-party processor. At quarter-end, the company held about $411 million in cash and could access up to roughly $350 million in additional liquidity over the next 18 months, subject to financing arrangements and approvals.
- CoreWeave, Nebius Slide As Blue Wave Clouds AI Boom
CoreWeave and Nebius shares fell as investors worried that the “blue wave” result in the midterm elections could slow the build-out of AI data centers.
- AI data center stocks dip as midterm elections shake up Wall Street
CNBC cited $173 million in General Election data center advertising, almost all negative, with $140 million from Democratic advertisers. An NBC exit poll found 56% of voters called AI and data centers a crucial or major factor in their vote. In Texas, Hinojosa defeated Abbott, and her platform includes a moratorium or new requirements for data centers in a state expected to account for a quarter of capacity by 2030. Panelists said investors are wary, pushing down neocloud stocks such as CoreWeave and Applied Digital, along with Tesla and SpaceX, while hyperscalers were holding up better. They also noted that public opposition to nearby data centers over noise, gas turbines, fumes and water use had grown.
- Tesla (TSLA) Shares Underperform as Record Q2 Revenue Is Overshadowed by Margin Pressure
Polen Capital's 5Perspectives Large Growth Composite returned 0.0% in Q3 2026, trailing the Russell 1000 Growth Index's 0.9%, as volatility hit AI stocks amid concerns over hyperscaler capex and crowded trades. The firm views the pullback as a necessary reset rather than a deterioration in fundamentals and is gradually shifting toward companies applying AI to boost productivity. On Tesla, shares underperformed after second-quarter results, when record revenue was overshadowed by margin pressure and a sharp rise in capital spending for AI and robotics. Tesla closed at $398.50 on November 3, 2026, with a $1.58 trillion market cap; shares rose 5.48% over the past month but are down 13.76% over 52 weeks. The number of hedge fund portfolios holding Tesla fell to 123 at the end of Q1 from 137 the previous quarter.
