## Summary

Technology shares diverged on Wednesday after Democrats swept the US midterm elections, as investors weighed possible tougher scrutiny of artificial intelligence against the prospect that divided government could limit policy changes. The Nasdaq-100 rose 1.14%, recovering from an overnight sell-off, but gains in software firms contrasted with falls in chipmakers and Tesla.

Microsoft gained 6.01% to $552.32 and Alphabet rose 4.63% to $292.99, while Nvidia fell 2.19% to $202.17, Tesla 3.61% to $384.10 and Intel 5.80% to $57.04. Investors are concerned about scrutiny of AI data centres, amid questions about infrastructure spending and returns. Trump Media shares dropped 14.29% to $5.10; they had already lost about 55% this year before the election. Bitcoin recovered 4.12% to around $80,512.
