Story summary

On November 5, 2026, stock markets in the U.S. plunged significantly following the Democratic victories in the midterm elections, with the Nasdaq falling by 5.1%, entering correction territory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped about 1,200 points, erasing most of the gains from the previous day when midterm election results had initially boosted stock prices. Concerns over potential increased regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers under a Democratic Congress triggered the sell-off, particularly impacting tech giants like Nvidia and Oracle. Trump criticized the Democrats' victory, claiming it was "a giant step back in history" for America, noting that the market had lost $3 trillion in value due to the election results.
