The US midterm elections added market uncertainty, and US stock futures were largely unchanged.

With U.S. voters casting their ballots and control of the House and Senate remaining undecided, S&P 500 futures were little changed, while Nasdaq 100 futures rose 0.3%. Polymarket projects a roughly 95% chance of Democrats winning the House and a roughly 77% chance of winning the Senate. Tom Essaye noted that since 1950, the S&P 500 has never fallen below its election day level 12 months after a midterm election.
