ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood urged investors to view recent market volatility and election results through a longer-term lens, asserting that the upcoming midterm elections will not impede the AI revolution. Wood noted that enterprises building data centers will increasingly address local community concerns by highlighting tangible benefits such as lower property taxes, high-paying jobs, commercial development, and school funding. She emphasized that AI-driven productivity gains will translate into higher wages, stronger profit margins, increased investment, and lower prices, helping to ease affordability pressures across the economy. According to Wood, the current economy is on a stronger growth trajectory than most investors have yet recognized.
