據Insider Wire社媒突發消息，美國共和黨參議員戴夫·麥考密克（Dave McCormick）反對約翰·圖恩（John Thune）繼續連任參議院共和黨領袖。圖恩此前已表示，即使共和黨在中期選舉中失去參議院控制權，也將尋求連任黨內領袖。共和黨參議員定於11月10日舉行閉門投票，選出下一屆黨團領袖。若麥考密克的反對立場得到確認，將爲圖恩爭取連任增添新的黨內阻力。

GF Securities said in a research note the PBOC conducted the third SFISF swap on Nov. 3 for CNY100bln at a 10bp bid rate; by Nov. 6, 26 brokerages had confirmed winning bids. The note said stock-buyback reloan support has been converted into a long-term institutional facility with a lower interest rate, the CSRC will refine protective repurchase rules, and exchanges will work with regulators to ease margin-trading and securities-lending risk metrics to modestly free up financing capacity. The first batch of 18 active ETFs raised over CNY35bln and will accelerate building positions, and the Shanghai and Shenzhen exchanges revised mandatory Stock Connect risk-disclosure clauses for Hong Kong stocks. GF said the swap facility, alongside a fuller market-stabilization toolkit and countercyclical margin adjustments, could speed a shift into equities, boost trading liquidity and expand brokers’ business scope.
