Market strategist James Ooi said US equities' response to the midterms will depend less on which party wins than on how far outcomes deviate from market-priced expectations. A clearer post-election political map should ease some of the uncertainty currently depressing sentiment.

Ooi also flagged the Texas governor race as market-relevant given Texas's rising role as a destination for AI data-center investment.
