Nasdaq Composite Enters Correction Territory Following Midterm Election Results
The Nasdaq Composite entered correction territory on Thursday, dropping more than 5% to close over 11% below its recent record high. The decline was triggered by Democratic sweeps in the House and Senate during midterm elections, alongside significant political shifts in Texas that have raised concerns regarding data center development moratoriums. Market volatility is expected to persist in the near term, as historical data from previous corrections suggests further selling often follows immediately. However, long-term trends indicate a recovery typically occurs within three to six months. The semiconductor sector faced significant pressure during this downturn, with the iShares Semiconductor ETF (SOXX) experiencing its worst single-day decline since March 2020.
