## News Details

**Global Highlights**

Wang Jiang, Deputy Director of the Central Financial Office: Accelerate the construction of a financial powerhouse, providing strong support for Chinese-style modernization. To accelerate high-level technological self-reliance, it is necessary to speed up the construction of a technology finance system, providing full lifecycle and full-chain financial services for technological innovation. To solidly promote common prosperity for all people, more solid and effective financial support measures must be introduced in optimizing regional economic layout, promoting coordinated regional development, consolidating and expanding the achievements of poverty alleviation, and advancing comprehensive rural revitalization.

U.S. officials revealed to obstruct discussions with China regarding Nvidia chips. According to Global Times, the Trump administration decided not to discuss Nvidia's request to sell the next generation of AI chips to China during the U.S.-China summit, amid near-unanimous opposition from senior U.S. advisors. This move marks the U.S. side's firm stance on advanced chip exports, despite Trump publicly emphasizing the importance of cooperation with China. The Chinese side urges the U.S. not to touch on four sensitive issues to ensure the friendly atmosphere from last week's U.S.-China summit can continueThe moment to decide the fate of Trump's tariffs has arrived, the U.S. Supreme Court holds a public hearing, judges question the legality of tariffs. At least a majority of the justices expressed reservations about the government's reliance on declaring a state of emergency to impose unlimited global tariffs. Chief Justice Roberts emphasized that the power to tax is a "core power" of Congress, rejecting the government's argument that tariffs are not taxes. Justice Barrett, appointed by Trump, asked the defendant's lawyer from the Trump administration where or when the emergency power law IEEPA cited by the government authorized the imposition of tariffs and questioned why there were universal retaliatory tariffs. Another Trump-appointed Justice Gorsuch questioned whether Congress could authorize the president to impose tariffs. The plaintiff's lawyer argued that tariffs are indeed taxes and that IEEPA does not allow for the dismantling of the global tariff framework.

The U.S. government has been shut down for 36 days, setting a record for the longest shutdown in history. Trump: The government shutdown has impacted the stock market, but it is still expected to reach new highs, calling for an end to the "lengthy debate" rules to quickly restart the government. Trump stated that the government "shutdown" is negatively affecting the stock market, the airline industry, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits, but he still expects the U.S. stock market to reach new highs.

-   The key catalyst to end the U.S. government shutdown: The political consequences of SNAP disruption are severe, and both parties may be forced to compromise! The duration of the U.S. government shutdown has set a record, and payments for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) have been interrupted, affecting about 12% of the U.S. population and directly impacting a large voter base. Bank of America warns that the resulting significant political costs may prompt both parties to accelerate negotiations to avoid further deterioration. Healthcare subsidies and Thanksgiving travel have also become strong catalysts, and the shutdown deadlock is about to see a breakthrough.

The "American Midterm Election Barometer": Trump's first major election during his term, a "decisive victory" for the Democrats. In local elections in the U.S., the Democrats achieved significant victories, with Spanberger becoming the first female governor of Virginia and taking power from the Republicans, while Democrat Mikie Sherrill also secured the governorship of New Jersey. The 34-year-old Mamdani was elected as New York City's first Muslim mayor, raising concerns on Wall Street due to his leftist policies. Against the backdrop of the sixth week of the government shutdown, economic pressure and the cost of living have become the most concerning issues for voters. The election results reflect public attitudes toward the government shutdown and judgments of responsibility, and may indicate voter tendencies ahead of next year's midterm elections, which will determine which party controls Congress.

-   California passes a key proposition, Democrats may regain five congressional seats, significantly increasing midterm election chances! According to U.S. media reports, California voters approved Proposition 50 with a 65% support rate, allowing state legislators to redraw congressional district maps, potentially flipping up to five Republican seats for the DemocratsThis move directly responds to the Texas Republican redistricting actions, successfully offsetting their impact and significantly increasing the likelihood of the Democratic Party regaining control of the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterm elections.

Employment Stabilization Signal: The U.S. "Little Non-Farm" October ADP Added 42,000 Jobs Exceeding Expectations, Wage Growth Continues to Stall.

The French economy has contracted for 14 consecutive months, with ongoing political uncertainty dragging down the economy. Input cost inflation has slowed to a three-month low, but output price increases have reached a seven-month high. Analysts believe that moderate growth and controllable inflation provide policy flexibility for the European Central Bank.

U.S. Treasury's Quarterly Refinancing Scale Remains Unchanged, but Hints at Future Possible Increase in Debt Issuance, 10-Year U.S. Treasury Yield Jumps. The U.S. Treasury announced the refinancing scale for the quarter from November to January, setting the debt issuance scale at $125 billion, unchanged from the previous quarter announced in July, in line with Wall Street bond traders' expectations. The Treasury stated that it would maintain the medium- and long-term U.S. Treasury auction scale unchanged for at least the next few quarters, but for the first time included wording indicating that it has "preliminarily considered increasing the issuance scale of fixed-rate and floating-rate U.S. Treasuries" in the future, which the market sees as paving the way for an increase.

Federal Reserve Governor Milan: ADP Employment is Encouragingly Unexpected, Expects Continued Rate Cuts, Warns Tariff Decisions May Weigh on the Economy. Federal Reserve Governor Milan, appointed by Trump, stated that he believes it is still a "reasonable action" for the Federal Reserve to continue cutting interest rates, including a potential rate cut at the last meeting of this year in DecemberMilan's stance on interest rate cuts makes him stand out compared to several other Federal Reserve officials. Milan described the latest ADP data as "a comforting surprise," but pointed out that considering the overall employment situation, he believes the trend before the U.S. government shutdown is still continuing. He warned that if the U.S. Supreme Court rules that the tariffs imposed by the Trump administration under economic emergency powers are illegal, it could increase uncertainty and drag down the economy.

Is breaking below $100,000 just the beginning? Bitcoin "whales" dumped $45 billion in a month, and the selling spree may continue until next spring.

Data shows that in the past month, long-term holders sold about 400,000 bitcoins, worth $45 billion, with only $2 billion in liquidations. Analysts point out that "whale" holders have stopped buying, and institutional demand has faded. This selling spree may continue until next spring, with Bitcoin potentially falling further to $85,000.
