U.S. stocks fell sharply two days after Democrats won control of the Senate and House, with the Dow Jones average down 1,700 points as of 1:30 p.m. Eastern time. The Nasdaq composite and Nasdaq 100 were both down more than 10% from recent highs, putting them in correction territory. Analysts Jay Hatfield and Tim Holland attributed the drop to concerns about chip stocks and a potential slowdown in artificial intelligence investment following the elections. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont called for a national data center moratorium, citing environmental, employment and other concerns.
