Stocks Surge 1,500 Points After Democrats Win Congress

The Dow Jones, a US stock index, rose 1,500 points on Nov. 4, 2026, its best day since April 2025, CNBC reported. It followed Democrats winning both houses of Congress in midterms. The S&P 500, a broader index, gained 1.6%, per The Wall Street Journal. Bloomberg linked the rally to hopes the Iran war ends sooner, lowering oil prices.
