The Democrats have won control of the House and Senate in an extraordinary US midterm election result. What does this shift in power mean for Donald Trump, the American economy and the rest of the world?

In this episode, I explain how the midterm elections work, the historic results in Kansas and Texas, and why America could face two years of political confrontation over spending, tariffs and government policy.

I also examine the potential consequences for artificial intelligence investment and data centres, stock markets, inflation, energy prices and the wars in Iran and Ukraine.

US stock futures initially fell before reversing those losses — but the longer-term economic implications go far beyond the market’s first reaction.
