Traders work on the floor at the New York Stock Exchange on Oct. 24, 2024. Brendan McDermid | ReutersStocks typically rise after a presidential election — but investors need to be prepared for some short-term choppiness first, history shows. The three major benchmarks on average have seen gains between Election Day and year-end in the presidential election year going back to 1980, according to CNBC data. However, investors shouldn't be expecting a straight shot up in the market after polls close. This means investors shouldn't be anticipating an immediate pop on Wednesday or the next few days after.

What kind of influence will Nvidia have on the 30-stock index when it joins before the bell this Friday? Instead, share price determines how much a single stock can move the Dow on a daily basis. A $1 move in any Dow stock translates to roughly 6.6 points on the index. By considering both share price and historical volatility, we can estimate each stock's potential influence on the index. According to a CNBC analysis of FactSet data, Nvidia would rank as the eighth-largest influence on the Dow based on its share price and recent volatility.

CNN —Shares of former President Donald Trump’s social media company roared higher on the final day before the US presidential election. Traders have used Trump’s stock as a kind of barometer for the former president’s perceived reelection chances. Similarly, when Harris began to make a comeback in online betting markets, Trump’s media stock began to implode. The Trump stock is a “meme stock,” a speculative trade that can vary wildly for just about any reason. The broader stock market Monday was also bouncing around a bit, although it was far less volatile than Trump’s media stock.

Investors have been accumulating shares of several big-name companies, from GE Vernova to United Airlines , during the market's recent dip. But those and other overbought stocks could be due for a pullback, according to one popular yardstick. Strong earnings from tech giants Amazon and Intel late Thursday were partly responsible for equity gains on Friday, as investors still look to megacap tech stocks for leadership. CNBC Pro screened for stocks that are considered technically overbought on the basis of their 14-day relative strength index, or RSI. Companies with a 14-day RSI above 70 are often regarded as overbought, signaling a pullback may be ahead, while a 14-day RSI below 30 often suggests a stock is oversold and could see future upside.

"The differences between Trump and Harris are as wide as we have ever seen." Differences in trade policy specifically, he said, are going to "determine where growth and earnings take place around the world." In contrast to Trump's trade policy, reduced trade tensions under Harris could lead to gains for FedEx , which has advanced more than 8% this year. During that debate, Harris also accused Trump of gearing up to abandon support of Ukraine.
