Defense Stocks Sink After Democratic Sweep As TD Cowen Warns Trump's "Branded" Programs Are Dead
Democrats have won majorities in the House and Senate. It's not just data centers and reindustrialization that will be under threat, but also the rearmament cycle, as defense stocks sink in US premarket trading and tumble in Europe's cash session.The larger-than-expected majorities will give Democrats much greater leverage in negotiations with the White House and will become a headache for the defense industry.Traders on both sides of the Atlantic sold defense stocks on Wednesday, with Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman tumbling 3% in premarket trading.A Goldman Sachs basket of European defense companies slid as much as 4.1%, its biggest intraday decline in more than four months.TD Cowen policy analyst Roman Schweizer called the Democratic sweep the "toughest outcome for defense spending" and said the incoming Democratic-controlled Congress would likely seek to compel President Trump to end t...

Futures Rip As Wall Street Buys The Blue Tsunami; Dollar Slides, Gold Tops $4,000
US futures are higher as dip buyers turned an overnight "blue tsunami" puke into a broad rally: Democrats swept both chambers of Congress, initially sending Nasdaq 100 futures down as much as 2.4% on fears of tighter AI regulation and a Texas data center freeze, before President Trump's conciliatory tone (he said Democrats did "a good job" and that he can work with them), AMD's blowout guide and the monetization of a pile of election hedges flipped futures solidly green; as a result the dollar is heading for its worst day since early September while gold blasts back above $4,000. As of 8:15am ET, S&P futures are 0.9% higher at 7,665 while Nasdaq futures are down 0.2%, Russell 2000 futures jump 1.3% and Dow futures are up roughly 1.7%, or about 870 points, as VIX tumbles 12.8% to 18.16. Stocks rose on Tuesday ahead of the vote, with the S&P 500 snapping a three-day losing streak and s...
