Now What?
Last week, U.S. presidential elections were held and as many predicted, a certain outcome wasn't immediately available. However, over the weekend it became clearer that Joe Biden would edge out Donald Trump, but also that a blue wave wouldn’t materialize. Notably, while not totally finalized, it appears the Senate will remain in Republican control and the House of Representatives remains under the Democrats control.
The stock market seemed to respond well to the potential election outcomes and was actually up, which might surprise some who consider Democrats to be less friendly to Wall Street than Republicans. This may be a reflection of the market's belief that a divided government is a good outcome where a Republican Senate can counter progressive Democrats' spending proposals.
