The Democratic sweep of the House and Senate has fundamentally altered the US political landscape, ending the era of divided government and triggering a broad-based market rally.

Defense stocks also faced headwinds as investors priced in potential budget scrutiny and a slowdown in discretionary military spending under a Democratic Congress.
