Stock market after midterm elections: What S&P 500 history shows

What the coverage shows

CNBC frames the story around historical S&P 500 performance after midterms and, in a separate piece, around how a potential Democratic sweep could affect stocks and sectors such as AI, energy, banks, defense and healthcare. The New York Times instead foregrounds market reaction, with its extract focusing on stock futures and Asian semiconductor shares dropping as investors weigh the future of the artificial intelligence boom. CNBC is alone in explicitly invoking midterm history, while the Times is alone in highlighting semiconductors.
