據美國哥倫比亞廣播公司（CBS）：消息人士稱，美國總統特朗普正在詢問顧問美國國防部長赫格塞思是否應該離職。

Hong Kong (China) S&P Global Manufacturing PMI 50.2 in October; prior 49.2.

Hyundai Research Institute said on the 4th that the Trump administration’s fiscal and monetary stance is essentially expansionary, raising market concern that abundant liquidity could concentrate and amplify volatility in financial and asset markets. The institute said markets must assess the risk of a global market crash if expansionary fiscal policy is constrained by shifts in US politics, or if a strengthening of Fed independence leads to tighter monetary policy. It recommended regulators shore up domestic financial and asset-market resilience and step up monitoring of cross-border speculative capital flows. The report also warned the administration could, to recover slipping support, ignore existing agreements and readjust tariffs applied to goods and trading partners.
