The recent U.S. midterm election results reduced market uncertainty, boosting stocks while bond yields and oil prices fell amid expectations of political gridlock and limited major spending. Democratic control raises the likelihood of stricter fossil fuel regulations, benefiting renewable energy stocks but potentially reducing defense spending, impacting contractors like Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. Texas' unexpected shift to Democratic control introduces moratoriums on new data centers, increasing regulatory scrutiny for Tesla, SpaceX, and AI infrastructure projects. Upcoming earnings from ARM and Qualcomm will provide insights into the smartphone sector's health outside of Apple, amid challenges from rising memory prices and weak Android handset sales in China.
As of Nov 05, 2026 01:21 WIB, Tesla shares on Pluang are trading at USD 388.79, down 2.44% for the day, reflecting some investor caution possibly linked to new regulatory scrutiny in Texas.
