U.S. midterm elections in 2026: A day of significant events

The U.S. midterm elections on November 3, 2026, were marked by important happenings. Polls closed with investment markets uncertain, Apple facing difficulties, and a U.S. strike on an Iranian island in the Strait of Hormuz hours before voting began. The elections also included a referendum on Trump's presidency and discussions on global policy effects, including Ukraine and Iran. The day saw immigration debates, inflation concerns, and Middle Eastern tensions, with Trump defending his record. Stock markets remained shaky ahead of the election, with Apple facing pressure.

“Stock markets remained shaky ahead of the election, with Apple facing pressure,” — Yusuf Calloway, senior market analyst at Fenton Ham Solutions, told our newsroom.
