Both the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange and Wall Street experienced sharp declines following the success of Democrats in the US midterm elections, a phenomenon dubbed the "blue wave." The Israeli TA-35 index dropped by 3.69%, extending a previous session's loss of 1.96%. On American exchanges, a significant sell-off occurred, with the Nasdaq falling 3.7%, the S&P 500 losing 2.1%, and the Dow Jones declining 1.1%. The VIX volatility index, often called the "fear index," surged 23% to reach 20.5 points.
The primary pressure was felt in stocks of technology companies involved in artificial intelligence and chip manufacturing. Investors are concerned that an increased Democratic presence could lead to stricter regulations on the construction of data centers, which are crucial for AI infrastructure development. This heightened uncertainty fueled a widespread stock sell-off.
