The markets prefer stability. Not order, not chaos. Just that things stay the same so that things are predictable.
If you know what the rules are and how things work, you can figure figure out how to work around them and with them.
Whether they are good rules or bad rules, at least you know them and can adjust accordingly.
That's why the market likes when the President and the Congress are held by different parties. It doesn't matter which party holds either, just that they are different. No major law changes will happen, because either the President will veto them or the Congress won't pass them.
Gridlock means nothing major will change.
