The ASX 200 saw fluctuations on Wednesday 4 November 2026 as traders kept a close eye on the US midterm elections. Initial declines were observed as US futures declined but a recovery later in the day . Key sectors like BHP and Rio Tinto fell . Positive expectations that the Democrats will take control in the US elections are supporting a more positive view for the ASX with projections of a 2% surge . Market movements are also driven by expectations of an end to the Iran conflict, which have led to a decline in Brent prices.
