Wall Street indices closed the trading session higher following the Democratic Party's victory in the US Congressional elections. According to reports by Interfax and Reuters, the election outcome helped reduce political uncertainty, boosting investor appetite for risk.

However, not all sectors shared in the gains: shares of data center companies saw a significant decline. Further details regarding the impact of the new political trend on specific sectors have not yet been released.
