The recent U.S. midterm election, resulting in Democrats gaining control of both chambers of Congress, is reportedly influencing significant declines in both the oil and semiconductor markets. ApeX has highlighted the election’s impact on demand and supply concerns as key drivers behind these market movements. Brent crude oil prices dropped nearly 9%, while WTI crude fell 8.3%, reflecting possible de-escalation in the Iran conflict. Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index saw a 12.2% decrease amid fears that Democratic control might lead to slower investment in data-center and AI infrastructure.
