Oil Collapses, Megacaps Rally — Has the Election Reset Risk?
QQQ gained 0.96% and SPY 1.64% Wednesday after Democrats won both chambers. Microsoft rose 6.73%, Amazon 6.10%, and Apple 5.36% as investors favored cash-generative mega-cap tech. By early Nov. 5 Beijing time, WTI had fallen 8.82% and Brent 9.13% on hopes of easing U.S.-Iran tensions and resumed Hormuz shipping. Bulls see relief for inflation and rates; bears note weakness in chips and unresolved AI capex and regulatory risks. What will decide if the rebound lasts: mega-cap tech, chip breadth, or oil?
