Morning Bid: Markets Fret Blue Wave Will Drown Data Centres
Investors worried new Democratic majorities could slow data-center construction, raise taxes and trigger investigations that would pressure the AI trade, analysts said.
- Stock futures slid Tuesday night after Democrats won commanding victories in key races, with Nasdaq 100 futures falling by more than 1% as investors reacted to the unexpected outcome.
- Democrats winning gubernatorial races in Texas, Ohio, and Georgia—which hold significant shares of the U.S. data center pipeline—prompted new pauses on construction, with Keisha Lance Bottoms and Amy Acton calling for development restrictions.
- JPMorgan analysts noted a potential 'investigation risk' for CEOs with ties to President Donald Trump; top Democrats signaled interest in launching investigations into Trump's projects when their congressional majority begins in January.
- Treasuries rallied as two-year yields declined to a two-month trough of 5.5458% on Tuesday, while traders guessed a slowdown in the AI sector could limit companies tapping bond markets for funding.
- Possible new data-center restrictions and higher taxes would be 'all potential headwinds for tech' companies, though analysts note passing regulation will be tough given President Trump has vowed to veto bills.
