The Democratic Party has secured majorities in both the House and Senate, including a historic sweep of Texas statewide offices and the election of Kansas's first Democratic senator since 1932. This political shift has immediately impacted currency and equity markets, with the US dollar depreciating and European and Asian indices rallying on the prospect of reduced political risk and potential fiscal stimulus. The market is now pricing in increased regulatory scrutiny for Big Tech and a potential cooling of the Iran conflict, which Trump attributed to the election outcome.
