Stocks posted their best weekly gain since April despite an uncertain election.

While the major stock indexes mostly finished a bit lower Friday, the drop wasn't enough to offset four days of strong gains. The S&P 500 surged 7.3% for the week, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose about 1,800 points, an increase of 6.9%. While former Vice President Joseph Biden is leading in the presidential race, the election fell short of the landslide Democrats had hoped for as prospects of retaking the Senate faded. Democrats retained control of the House of Representatives.The potentially split decision by the electorate could mean at least two more years of divided government, a prospect that investors would welcome given that it could make it more difficult for Democrats to pass their economic agenda.

Democrats have campaigned on issues such as increased regulation or higher taxes for the wealthy, measures that are typically unpopular in Wall Street. "If Republicans do maintain control of the Senate, the likelihood of major tax hikes decreases at least until after the 2022 midterm election," said Jim Baird, chief investment officer at Plante Moran Financial Advisors.

Cause they know Biden coming back

It’s all downhill from here

Their business is information. To them, as to us, Biden is the winner. This is obvious. Stop the hedging your bets on this. Look at the math instead.

No it's because Biden won

Markets love Joe

Not unresolved

NARRATOR: For anyone making $50k a year or less, there was no 'surge'.

It’s not unresolved. Biden won.

Because it’s not “unresolved”.

It's not unresolved. The election was called for Biden yesterday morning, and markets are celebrating.

The markets love it when the federal government is not getting anything done. Yes.
