  "account": "Following the success of the Democratic Party in the recent US Midterm elections, US stock markets are benefiting, particularly Wall Street. As trading began on Wednesday following the elections, major US indices showed gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 2.9 percent to reach 53,337 points, marking a two-month high. On Tuesday, the index closed at 51,787 points, indicating a gain of over 1,500 points compared to the previous day. The broader S&P 500 index also increased by 1.8 percent to 7,703 points. The technology-focused Nasdaq gained 2 percent, reaching 25,877 points. The Nasdaq 100, which tracks the 100 largest non-financial companies by market capitalization, was up almost 1 percent at 28,573 points.\n\nIn the US congressional elections, the Democrats secured a majority in both chambers of Congress, potentially hindering future policies of US President Donald Trump. Thomas Altmann, a portfolio manager at QC Markets, summarizes the current situation: \"The political handcuffs are put on the US President.\" Investors and traders may consequently feel less concern about erratic decisions from the US President. Jochen Stanzl, Chief Market Analyst at Consorbank, adds that despite not being on the ballot, President Trump will be the 'loser of the day', and political uncertainties will diminish. The elections decided all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 Senate seats. The Republicans entered the election with a majority of 53 Senate seats, but the Democrats are currently holding 54 seats, with possibilities for more.",
