Today: Warum die Kurse nach Trumps Reaktion auf Demokraten-Sieg steigen

In today's market developments, the rise in stock prices after Donald Trump's reaction to the Democratic Party's victory in the US midterm elections is noteworthy. The Democrats secured a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, effectively controlling both chambers of the US Congress. In the election night, Trump acknowledged the Republican Party's defeat and indicated his willingness to collaborate with the Democrats; however, he emphasized his right to use his veto power if necessary.

The comparatively moderate response from Trump to the election results provided relief in the markets, leading to an increase in prices both in Europe and the US. Nevertheless, some AI-related values were pressured due to concerns about increased regulation by the Democrats and a potential slowdown in the expansion of AI data centers.

Carsten Brzeski, ING's chief economist for Germany and Austria, explained in a podcast why the Democrats would not halt the AI boom. Moreover, Laurin Meyer, Handelsblatt's US correspondent, discussed the implications of the Democrats controlling both the Senate and the House of Representatives for Trump's future.
