U.S. stock indexes fell as the outcome of a tightly contested midterm election remained unclear, with investor focus shifting to inflation data on Thursday for clues on the path of future interest rate hikes.

Republicans were still favoured to win control of the House of Representatives, but key races were too close to call, with a better-than-expected showing by Democrats diminishing the prospect of a “red wave”.

“It is simply uncertainty that (the) Wall Street does not like since a lot of the races have yet to be fully concluded… you don’t get a clear idea as to who has majority in the Senate,” said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA Research in New York.

Economic News:

US: US voters look likely to pass at least $37 billion of the state and local-government debt sales that were up for consideration in Tuesday’s elections, led by measures that will finance work on schools and other infrastructure projects.

Officials asked for approval of at least $66 billions of bond measures in total, according to a Bloomberg analysis of data compiled by IHS Markit that excludes referendums by Texas’s utility and water districts. An early tally shows that the preponderance is heading for acceptance.

The largest measures that have passed include a $4.2 billion state-wide climate measure in New York and a $2.3 billion school bond in Austin, Texas, according to a preliminary Bloomberg tally of unofficial results.

The approvals “send the message that voters care and are thoughtful about the multi-year impact that infrastructure has on their communities,” said Tom Kozlik, head of municipal research at Hilltop Securities Inc. “It is very clear that voters are not being short-sighted even if there are some negative economic considerations out there.”

Euro Zone: British former junior finance minister Harriett Baldwin was elected chair of parliament’s influential Treasury Committee on Wednesday, promising to hold the government and the Bank of England to account.

Baldwin, who worked for two decades at U.S. bank J.P Morgan before being elected to the House of Commons in 2010, succeeds Mel Stride, an ally of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak who appointed him as work and pensions minister on Oct. 25.

Under British parliamentary rules, the position of committee chair was open only to Conservative lawmakers but elected by members of parliament from all parties.

“With the Chancellor’s Autumn Statement around the corner, interest rates on the rise and inflation well above target, the role of the Committee has never been more important,” Baldwin said after becoming chair.
