Milford sees US policy gridlock supporting stocks after Democratic midterm sweep
  • Democratic control of Congress is more likely to produce policy gridlock than sweeping changes, potentially supporting US stocks.
  • State-level restrictions could slow AI data center construction, raising project costs while benefiting established cloud providers with existing capacity.
  • Slower AI infrastructure spending could ease pressure on market interest rates, supporting homebuilders and industrial stocks.
  • The post-election stock rally faces uncertainty from persistent inflation and Middle East conflict risks; tariffs are likely to remain in place.
  • New Zealand investors generally should not overhaul long-term investment plans based on one election result or a single-day rally.
