The US Democratic Party has secured a sweep of both the Senate and House, a development that has fundamentally altered the market outlook by removing the threat of legislative paralysis. This political shift has catalyzed a sharp recovery in US futures, reversing earlier losses and boosting investor confidence in the stability of fiscal policy. The market is interpreting this as a de-escalation of political risk, leading to a broad-based rally across sectors previously weighed down by uncertainty. Global macro data points to underlying economic resilience, with the UK's October Composite PMI coming in at 52.9, slightly below forecasts but still indicating robust expansion. Simultaneously, the Reserve Bank of India's partial allotment in its 91-day T-bill auction suggests manageable domestic liquidity conditions. These data points support the broader risk-on environment initiated by the US political shift, reinforcing the view that global growth is not yet in danger of a sharp downturn.
