Wall St opens higher as Democrats win Congress; data center stocks slide

US stocks opened higher on Wednesday as investors bet a divided Washington after the Democrats' midterm sweep could limit sharp policy shifts, though data center-related stocks were under pressure as concerns over tighter artificial intelligence regulation weighed.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 997.76 points, or 1.93 percent, at the open to 52,784.48. The S&P 500 rose 86.51 points, or 1.14 percent, at the open to 7,655.43, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 271.36 points, or 1.07 percent, to 25,643.36 at the opening bell.
