伊朗外長阿拉格齊在接受半島電視臺採訪時表示，伊朗不會因經濟壓力而屈服，也不會出賣國家的尊嚴與獨立。阿拉格齊強調，伊朗政府、議會、最高國家安全委員會和武裝力量之間已達成共識，將共同支持最終決定。他明確指出，伊朗的首席談判代表仍是卡利巴夫，穆赫辛·雷扎伊提供全力支持，“我們共同決策，共同執行”。在談及美國副總統萬斯的來信時，阿拉格齊表示，如果該信件旨在保持對話渠道暢通，那是一個積極舉動；但如果目的是挑撥離間，那將是美國人的又一個錯誤。他透露，伊方已仔細研究該信件，並在高級別會議上進行了討論，伊朗將以適當的方式調整相關政策。

Securities and fund firms have been notified that the People's Bank of China (PBOC) and the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) will meet on Nov. 2 to study promoting the use of capital-market support tools. On the same day the PBOC, the National Financial Regulatory Administration (NFRA) and the CSRC will convene major banks to discuss optimizing the stock-repurchase re-lending facility. The stock-repurchase re-lending facility, established by a joint PBOC–NFRA–CSRC notice on Oct. 18, 2024, is one of two monetary-policy tools aimed at supporting the capital market; it incentivizes financial institutions to lend to eligible listed companies and major shareholders to fund buybacks and share increases.
