特朗普女婿庫什納：美國與烏克蘭、北約及歐洲夥伴進行了富有成效和實質性的討論。

South African equities jumped, led by precious-metals producers, with the FTSE/JSE All Share rising as much as 5.2%—its largest intraday gain since April 8. The Johannesburg Stock Exchange was closed Wednesday for a local holiday. The move followed a decisive Democratic midterm victory that markets expect will curb President Trump’s tax and spending plans, sending the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields lower and boosting gold; lower yields and a softer dollar typically support non-yielding bullion. Rowan Williams, CIO at Johannesburg Nitrogen Fund Management, said precious metals’ recent correlation with U.S. rates and the dollar has exceeded their link to geopolitical risk, and with Democrats now controlling both chambers he sees geopolitical risk as reduced.
