US stocks (^DJI,^GSPC, ^IXIC) closed higher as investors wait for the results of the US election. Infrastructure Capital Advisors CEO Jay Hatfield joins Market Domination Hosts Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton to break down what the election means for markets. "We actually have a differentiated view, which is that it really doesn't matter that much unless there's a sweep by one side or the other," Hatfield tells Yahoo Finance. He notes "We think generally these trades are overdone, with the one exception that major changes in corporate tax rates can be great or horrific for markets." Hatfield says he'll be focused on the Senate race, explaining "We don't think it's knowable on the House or the presidential [election], but the Senate is completely different. It's [an] almost unprecedented advantage to the Republicans. And it's in states that aren't driven as much by turnout. They're not swing states. You could very well get this Senate locked up, which would create stability in the markets and probably spark a rally. And that's why we increased our [S&P 500] target, not for this year, but for next year ... Just to tell people, even though the market's expensive, we still think you should stay long through the end of the year." "We think the stock market might be better off assuming divided government with a Harris presidency," he says, explaining that a second Trump presidency would result in a Democratic sweep come midterms which could create fears of instability in the market.

Evercore ISI senior strategist Matthew Aks joins Market Domination to break down what each candidate's respective policy agendas would mean for markets and the economy. "I think there are a few clear spots where you're going to see major differences between Trump and Harris show up quite quickly," Aks told Yahoo Finance. He notes that if Harris were to win, sectors like energy, healthcare, and financials could benefit. Conversely, a Trump win could lead to "big structural shifts" in areas like tariffs and immigration policy. However, Aks believes the federal deficit is expected to grow significantly regardless of who wins, with projections of a $3.95 trillion increase under Harris versus a $7.75 trillion rise under Trump's policies. "One interesting area we'll be watching closely over the next couple days is clean energy stocks," Aks states, noting that Harris's agendas would be better for this sector. However, he adds that with the increase in demand for energy, "I think either way, whoever wins, the next president is going to have to adopt something of an 'all of the above' energy strategy."

Raymond James' Washington policy analyst and managing director Ed Mills joins Morning Brief to examine top policy issues the elected official will have to deal with. Mills points to two key policy issues that could influence market dynamics in the year ahead - the debt limit negotiations and the future of tax extensions. Regarding the debt limit, Mills notes that the US will not default on its debt obligations. However, he warns this could still become "a bond market story for next year." The longer the debt limit remains unresolved, the more the Treasury markets could be depressed. On the tax extension front, Mills notes Democrats would likely favor removing the $10,000 cap on state and local tax (SALT) deductions. However, investors would have to question how much Republicans would want to cut taxes in terms of size and how that would ultimately impact the federal deficit and bonds.

Even before official results were in, Trump's virtually assured win across key swing states and in the popular vote nationwide looks far more resounding than the tight race predicted by opinion polls and betting markets only yesterday.
