A market rout occurred following the Republican defeat in the US midterm elections on January 1, 2025. Hedge funds were heavily impacted, with funds specializing in technology, media, and telecommunications stocks losing over 4% in a single day, according to Goldman Sachs information cited by the Wall Street Journal.
