When people hear about US elections, it can feel like a distant political event with little connection to life in Australia. However, the United States remains the world’s largest economy and home to many of the biggest companies and financial markets. Because of this, major US events can influence investment markets around the world, including Australia.
The next US mid-term elections are scheduled for 3 November 2026. These elections will determine who controls the US Congress, with all seats in the House of Representatives and a portion of the Senate being contested.
