Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq rise as Wall Street braces for election results

With the anticipated effects of a divided government or a close election in terms of policies affecting technology and defense spending, stocks like Palantir and Trump Media could continue to see volatility but with a general upward trend due to increasing government contracts and interest in tech.

Considering the significant labor agreements and banter around economic policies post-election, Boeing's recent drop despite worker agreements indicates volatility. Given the uncertainty around stock performance influenced by broader economic signals, I predict a cautious outlook with potential for negative directional shifts in the near term as the market digests the implications of these contracts amid ongoing inflation concerns.
