The interesting question isn't whether Democrats are good or bad for technology stocks.
It is whether Wall Street has started questioning the economics of the AI capital-expenditure race.
Wednesday's rally is consistent with investors becoming more enthusiastic about AI infrastructure scarcity than unlimited AI infrastructure expansion.
And that raises a much bigger question:
If restricting AI data-centre construction makes Big Tech shares rise, was Wall Street already becoming uncomfortable with the enormous amount of money these companies were spending?
I think that is the most important economic signal in the article. It is consistent with growing capital-efficiency concerns, although one day's market reaction is not enough to prove a lasting change in sentiment.
