Dow rips over 1,100 points higher as markets digest Democratic midterm sweep
The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped more than 1,100 points at the opening bell — Wall Street's first session since Democrats swept the midterms, according to The Kobeissi Letter. The outlet also reports US stocks tacked on over $1 trillion in market cap right out of the gate.
Wall Street didn't ease in. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged past 1,100 points as markets opened for the first time since the midterm elections, according to The Kobeissi Letter. The outlet says US stocks added more than $1 trillion in market capitalization at the open.
The catalyst, in the outlet's framing: Democrats swept the midterms. Traders got their first live crack at pricing that outcome when the bell rang, and the buying came in hot and immediate.
The two headline numbers — a Dow move north of 1,100 points and a trillion-dollar jump in overall market cap — are early reads from the opening session, per The Kobeissi Letter.
Now the question is whether the rally holds through the day or fades as the first wave of orders gets worked through. Either way, the market's opening verdict on a Democratic sweep was emphatic.
