I’m a Financial Analyst. Here’s What the Midterms Mean for the Market.

November 5, 2026

Democrats just took control of Congress. So what happens to your portfolio?

The midterms are over, and the balance of power in Washington has shifted. Every headline has an opinion on what it means for the market. Suro Ghatak, Director of Investment Management with The Noble Group, looks at what the numbers say.

In this video, he walks through what actually changed in the House and Senate, what history says about markets after a midterm, and whether a divided government really is good for stocks. He also explains the three forces he says matter more than anything happening in Washington.

If you’ve been wondering whether to change anything in your portfolio, this one is worth the few minutes.
