U.S. President Trump blamed today's stock market plunge on the victory of his rival Democrats in the midterm elections earlier this week.

Agence France-Presse reported that after the U.S. stock market closed, Trump posted on his social media platform "Truth Social" and wrote: "The stock market crashed today because the Democrats won a big victory on Tuesday. It is really sad to see this situation, and you only have yourselves to blame!"

Analysts pointed out that today's sell-off in the stock market was due to concerns that Democrats would threaten the wave of investment in artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. The Nasdaq index (Nasdaq), which is dominated by technology stocks, recorded its largest single-day percentage decline since April 2025.

The data center faces widespread opposition from American voters regardless of party affiliation, and many midterm candidates have pledged to hold off on such plans.

Has Huida hit bottom after falling below the $200 mark? Analysts see it this way

Huida's stock price fell 9.3% on Thursday to close at $181.60, the largest one-day drop since January 2025, and its market value evaporated by $446.6 billion. Analysts believe that the stock price may be about to hit a bottom, with the expected price-to-earnings ratio of about 14 times, lower than the S&P 500 index of 18.45 times, and that growth is limited by supply rather than demand.
