US Treasuries rose for a second straight session after Democrats' midterm wins raised the likelihood that the Trump administration's tax and spending agenda will be constrained. Yields across the curve fell at least 3bps; the 10-year yield dropped to 4.84%, its lowest since Sep. 10. The dollar index slipped 0.2% after recording its biggest one-day decline in two months in the prior session. Allspring Global Investments' chief fixed income strategist George Bori said markets welcomed an orderly power transition and a potentially milder policy agenda, which could narrow next year's fiscal deficit and is positive for bond investors. Market participants expect Treasury issuance could be limited if the administration faces greater difficulty advancing spending plans.

據《韓國每日經濟新聞》報道，根據KB證券4日發佈的分析報告，預計到今年年底，三星電子的淨現金（現金及現金等價物減去借款）將達到210萬億韓元，SK海力士則將達到181萬億韓元。與去年年底相比，兩家公司的淨現金規模將分別增長至原來的2倍和16倍以上。儘管兩家公司計劃今年分別拿出約100萬億韓元用於股東回報，但在完成相關支出後，仍將剩餘大量現金。由於這些資金的投資方式可能影響韓國債券市場的供需格局，因此市場對此高度關注。
