Prediction markets are playing a growing role in how voters, campaigns, and media outlets interpret elections. But market odds aren’t polls or vote counts, and even small trades can dramatically shift a candidate’s perceived chances. What does this mean for the 2026 midterms? https:// cdt.org/insights/betting-on-th…

The S&P500 is a decent guage for the wider US market and if you are gonna make any claims about "the market", then it needs to hold up for large ETFs. You just haven't been following the economy long enough to actually know what a savage market is. For the last 4 years, it would have taken some genuine effort to come out negative.

TL;DR: US tech stocks rebounded after a selloff fueled by concerns over AI spending, with midterm elections having limited immediate impact. However, predicted Democratic wins could signal more regulatory measures for the tech industry. https://www. theguardian.com/business/2026/ nov/03/us-tech-stocks-recovery-ai-spending # law # tech # legaltech…

Only in specific sectors. Other sectors are affected and meaningfully down YTD. average don't represent individual stocks or sectors. Not all stocks move together. And the s&p500 is only 500 companies with a disproportionate impact by the mag7.

Nothing about the Strait of Hormuz will be resolved nor the war will end if USA dips out. And congress generally answers to a certain another country more than it answers to USA anyway, so why would they pull out?
