What happened
Following the Democrats' victory in the US midterm elections, Wall Street experienced a sell-off, leading to sharp declines in Asian stock indexes in Seoul and Tokyo. Investors became concerned that the political shift could slow the expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure. The Nasdaq 100 Index dropped over 6%, and Nvidia Corp. tumbled over 9% during the rout.

Why it matters
The market decline was driven by fears that political opposition could curb AI investment and growth. These concerns were amplified by progressive US Senator Bernie Sanders calling for a national moratorium on new data centre construction.
Democrats are poised to take control of Congress, and Donald Trump's return to office has increased detentions.
