Wall Street Staging Rebound as Midterm Election Results

Wall Street staged a sharp overnight reversal as U.S. stock futures rallied following early sell-offs triggered by the 2026 midterm election results. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures surged over 800 points after initial panic gave way to market clarity. Market Snapshot Dow Futures: Gained 0.84% (up over 800 points off lows) S&P 500 Futures: Rose 0.35% Nasdaq-100 Futures: Added 0.16% after reversing an earlier 2.4% plunge Treasury Yields: The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield stabilized around 4.90%–4.95% Investors historically favor a divided government where power is balanced rather than heavily concentrated in one party.
