After the midterms, Donald Trump is left to weigh his next move in the war with Iran, which contributed to the GOP’s loss.

Global tech stocks plunged as U.S. midterms added to fears of an AI slowdown, with investors reacting to possible tougher scrutiny of data‑center construction and the AI industry.

Reports say major investors are skeptical that Anthropic’s IPO can achieve a $1.5 trillion valuation, and that other investors say October financial results could lessen the blow of the market rout.

Reports say the Taiwan dollar briefly weakened past the key level of thirty‑three per U.S. dollar early Friday, its first time since April 2025, weighed down by the AI selloff and foreign equity outflows.
