Economic and Market Outlooks
After midterm races centered on curbing data center development helped trigger a sharp market sell-off, the AI build-out is likely to be constrained at the margin rather than halted, since roughly 600 campuses already under construction will proceed while the 2,600 still in planning may face slower permitting or simply relocate.
Economic and Market Outlooks
With prediction markets pointing to Democratic gains and likely gridlock in Washington, investors may welcome the resolved uncertainty, as stocks have risen in the 12 months after every midterm since 1950, leaving corporate earnings (driven largely by AI) as the key focus with state-level races potentially shaping data center development.
Economic and Market Outlooks
We expect the FOMC to hold rates steady this week, as futures markets also do, but with oil above $100, consumer prices up 3.7%, and producer prices up 6.3%, Chair Kevin Warsh’s press conference will be key to gauging whether the Fed still sees the energy disruption as temporary and markets still expect a rate hike in December.
