The results of the US midterm elections are expected to have a positive impact on green energy stocks, with analysts anticipating a potential recovery for the sector. Following President Donald Trump's cancellation of previous administration plans to promote green energy, there are now heightened expectations that Democrats could facilitate its resurgence. This trend may also influence renewable energy stocks on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, as Israeli companies like Enlight, Doral, and Nofar operate in the United States and could be affected by policy shifts there. These stocks have already seen positive momentum, partly due to falling US bond yields and polls suggesting Democratic gains in the midterms.
Conversely, defense stocks might face pressure. This is attributed to the expectation that a stronger Democratic presence could intensify opposition to Trump's policies, particularly regarding the conflict with Iran. Trump has shown significant support for establishing server farms in the US, even opposing local communities protesting their construction in September. Public resistance to the expansion of server farms in residential areas could translate into policy changes post-election, impacting companies in this sector.
