According to JP Morgan, a victory of the House and Senate by Democrats could result in sell-off for artificial intelligence stocks. In its analysis of possible election outcomes, JPMorgan mapped four scenarios and their potential implications for Wall Street, with a Democratic sweep of the House of Representatives and the Senate being viewed as the most uncertain outcome for stocks, with S&P 500 expected to move in a narrow range - from a 0.25% decline to a 0.5% gain.
However, a split Congress, with Democrats controlling the House and Republicans retaining the Senate, can be more favourable for equities. In this scenario, JPMorgan estimates that the S&P 500 could rise 0.5% to 1%, as legislative gridlock limits the scope for major policy changes.
In addition to elections, investors will also focus on a day packed with corporate earnings. Pfizer, Shopify, Eaton and Marathon Petroleum, Advanced Micro Devices and Super Micro Computer are among the companies in focus today, In terms of eceonomy, traders are looking forward for the declaration of the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey for September, as well as factory orders data.
