What happened
US voters are heading to the polls Tuesday to decide control of Congress. The outcome may define the last two years of Donald Trump's presidency and affect how easily his agenda can move through Washington.
Why it matters
Indian equities could feel the impact through global risk appetite and foreign investor flows. If the result points to a more gridlocked Congress, markets may read that as slower policy change in the US. If it points to smoother policy passage, traders may watch for any shift in trade or fiscal policy that could affect global sentiment.
Global impact
World markets may watch for the balance of power in Washington. A clear outcome can move US equities, bonds, and the dollar, and that can spill into Asian markets and Indian flows at the open.
