Midterm Winds: What The Elections Mean for Markets and ETFs
TL;DR Summary
The 2026 U.S. midterms are a backdrop for markets, with history showing midterm years can be weaker but often followed by a rally as uncertainty fades. Sector performance varies, with healthcare and energy historically more resilient, while financials lag at times. The AI boom remains a key theme, supporting AI-focused and broad-market ETFs (e.g., CHAT, VOO, SPYM, RSP), and investors are advised to stay invested rather than react to political outcomes, as relief rallies typically occur after elections and strength can persist into year-end.
