Democrats secured control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate following the midterm elections.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

U.S. stocks soared on Wednesday after the Republican Party lost sole control of Washington. Experts noted that Wall Street may have preferred the political scenario created by the Democrats gaining control of both chambers. The shift in legislative power means the Democrats are set to scrutinize and drive their policy agenda.
