    Daily Market Analysis

    Market Focus

    Stocks rose and bonds dropped amid key elections in Georgia that will decide which party controls the U.S. Senate for the next two years, setting the scope of President-elect Joe Biden’s agenda.

    In a session marked by thin trading volume, the S&P 500 rebounded after suffering its worst start to a year since 2016. Energy stocks surged as oil traded near $50 a barrel, and the Russell 2000 Index of smaller companies jumped 2%. While markets have been factoring in a greater chance of a Democratic sweep in Tuesday’s election, some analysts see the potential for increased volatility. In anticipation to the outcome of the vote, which will likely be known on Wednesday, Treasury yields climbed — with a key curve measure reaching its steepest level in four years.

    Whether or not Wall Street is getting more comfortable with the idea of Democrats taking control of both chambers of Congress, the scenario implies the possibility of a more generous stimulus package. That could also potentially lead to upward pressure on inflation and interest rates as well as higher taxes to pay for fiscal aid. Conversely, should Republican incumbent win re-election, the party would have enough votes to block any Biden initiative.
