Cathie Wood sees market worries as sign of stronger bull run

U.S. equities dropped sharply on Thursday after the midterm elections, sending the Nasdaq Composite into correction territory. Ark Invest founder Cathie Wood interprets the sell‑off as a sign that market anxieties may precede a stronger bull market. She links the decline to concerns that a Democrat‑led Congress could slow data‑center construction and to worries about rapid AI spending and cash‑flow pressures. Wood also highlights that her Ark Innovation ETF posted a gain of more than 35% in 2025, outpacing the S&P 500’s 16.4% rise and the Nasdaq’s 20.5% rally.
