Prediction: The Stock Market Will Soar After Midterm Elections

The article predicts that the stock market will experience strong performance following the midterm elections on Nov. 3, citing historical data showing the S&P 500 has been positive in the 12 months after every midterm election since 1950 with an average gain of roughly 15%. The author notes that while recent midterm cycles have shown more modest gains (4-7%), political gridlock following the elections could create a favorable near-term environment for stocks. Democrats are favored to control both chambers of Congress, which could end the Iran war and lower inflation, though it may create headwinds for AI-related stocks.
