US Midterm Election Results Trigger Stock Market Turmoil, Trump Fumes
U.S. President Donald Trump expressed anger over midterm election results, claiming the stock market is experiencing one of its worst days in history. He blamed Democrats for the market decline in a Truth Social post. The Democratic Party secured major victories, gaining control of both the Senate and House of Representatives from Trump's Republican Party, and won several gubernatorial races. Stocks linked to Trump supporters, including Trump Media and Technology Group, fell sharply, with shares dropping 24.5% in a day. AI and chip-related stocks, including South Korea's SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics, also declined, as did Tesla and SpaceX shares. Trump criticized Democrats for the losses, noting retirement investments have been affected.
