Historical patterns show S&P 500 drawdowns averaging 18% in the year before midterms, with extremes from 7% to 42%.

Meanwhile, Salesforce’s $50B buyback had little impact, emphasizing that markets reward growth and ROIC over headlines.

NVIDIA continues its dramatic selloff, leaving bulls disappointed.
