What are today's top business/market headlines?
U.S. stocks surged on November 4, 2026, following Democrats’ sweeping midterm victories that gave them control of both the House and Senate (a “blue wave”), while oil prices tumbled amid hopes for de-escalation in Middle East conflicts (including the Iran war). This eased political uncertainty, with President Trump accepting the results. Markets also reacted to lower energy prices benefiting consumers and certain sectors.
