Related: About this forumDow up more than 450 points so far this morning
Im a long-term buy-and-hold guy, so I dont hyperventilate over market fluctuations. But this is good to see and maybe will be at least partially regarded as affirmation for Harris-Walz.

Even the market knows that.

that the selloff was due to tech and AI stocks needing a correction. But if it appears to people as though it's an affirmation of Walz, I feel no need to correct them.

I place virtually no faith in pundit pronouncements like Markets down after x or y news event, etc.
