CBS News
What the coverage shows
All three outlets frame the story as a market rally following Democratic midterm gains, with Bloomberg Technology, The Hill, and CBS News each leading on stocks recovering or surging. The Hill is the most specific about intraday moves, naming the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 gains, while Bloomberg Technology adds gold gains and says the selloff was erased as uncertainty faded. CBS News is the only one to note Democrats were projected to take control of Congress after battleground-state wins.
