US midterm elections shake markets; REITs rally on strong earnings and lower yields

The US midterm elections caused market volatility as Democrats won both Congress chambers, prompting a reassessment of the AI boom. Voters largely opposed data-center expansions, with 40 of 41 measures favoring restrictions. Treasury yields and oil prices dropped due to expectations of fiscal discipline under divided government. Despite this, real estate stocks, especially REITs, gained for the fifth week in a row, boosted by lower yields and strong earnings, with 81% of REITs raising their full-year outlooks. This suggests resilience in real estate amid political and economic shifts.

The Blue Wave and its impact on REITs provide context for this market snapshot. Of 47 priced Real Estate-sector US stocks tradable on Pluang, 17 rose and 30 fell today. CTRE rose 2.77% to USD 38.21, while AMT fell 2.68% to USD 188.79 with 100% sell order activity, as of Nov 08, 2026 21:11 WIB.
