In the US Congressional midterm elections, Democrats took the majority from Republicans in the House of Representatives after the Senate, according to unofficial results.

With this development, a sales-oriented trend is observed in global markets. In this regard, the elections in the USA are expected to give important signals regarding the course of the coming period on geopolitically and economically important topics. Investors consider the Democrats' election success as a downside risk for stock markets and the dollar, with the expectation that regulatory controls may tighten, especially for technology and artificial intelligence companies with high growth potential.

A positive trend is observed in the domestic markets with widespread purchases.
