[Syz Group: Midterm Election Results Slightly Negative for Growth, But Lower Energy Prices May Benefit Inflation and Household Purchasing Power] (1) Syz Group’s Reto Cueni stated in a report that the US midterm election results are slightly negative for growth by weakening fiscal and investment momentum; however, if energy prices fall, they could have a positive impact on inflation, interest rates, and household purchasing power. (2) The chief economist stated that for the US economy, the results create two opposing forces: weakened support for growth and a potential offsetting effect on the supply side. (3) With the Democrats controlling Congress and President Trump having veto power, the likelihood of another large-scale tax cut or spending package has significantly decreased. (4) Cueni stated that this deadlock reduces the likelihood of further fiscal stimulus measures but increases the risk of disruptive debt ceiling negotiations or a temporary government shutdown.

[Schumer Says Republicans Will Support Ending War with Iran Quickly, Democrats Threaten to Cut Defense Funding with “Purchase Power”] (1) Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said Senate Republicans will support ending the war with Iran quickly; he threatened that Democrats would use “purch power” to cut Defense funding if necessary to push for a swift end to the conflict. (2) Schumer said at a press conference at the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee headquarters in Washington on Wednesday: “We want to end this war. Some Republicans have joined us in supporting an end to the war. The Founding Fathers used ‘purch power’ as one of the means to deter the president from waging war without the consent of the American people.” (3) Four Republican senators joined Democrats in voting for a war powers resolution that directs President Trump to withdraw U.S. troops from hostilities against Iran without formal congressional authorization to use military force; the four are Tom Tillis, Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul. They voted to advance the resolution when it was last put to a Senate vote. (4) Senator Bill Cassidy had previously hesitated on how to vote, but after meeting with Senate Republican leaders in Mansfield Hall outside the Senate in late September, he ultimately voted against the measure; he had previously supported a war powers resolution on Iran in June, but changed his vote after a heated argument with Trump in a private meeting. (5) Even if the Senate passes a legally binding war powers resolution, Trump can still veto it, and the Democrats do not have enough votes to override his opposition. (6) The Democrats have a greater means of restraining Trump from waging war by blocking Pentagon funding; the White House requested nearly $70 billion in emergency funding for the Pentagon in June, but this stalled due to strong Democratic opposition, and the annual defense appropriations bill is also deadlocked. (7) Democrats have threatened to block the annual defense authorization bill and defense appropriations measures as long as the United States remains at war with Iran. (8) Senator Brian Schatz, who is about to become the Senate Democratic Whip, told reporters a few weeks ago: “My personal view is that if the war ends, then there is an opportunity for bipartisan cooperation on defense authorization and defense appropriations. I think if the war does not end, it will be extremely difficult.”

Boley believes that tax increases are unlikely in the short term, but the Democratic Party may begin positioning itself for the 2028 election. He anticipates that the US fiscal deficit may narrow next year, which would benefit bond investors.

[Indonesian Task Force Launches Enforcement Action Against Nickel Tycoon Kurniawan’s Associates for Forest Mining Violations] (1) An Indonesian government task force dedicated to combating illegal occupation of forest land said it is taking “immediate enforcement action” against companies controlled or associated with former Glencore nickel trader Arif Kurniawan. (2) The task force did not specify what measures would be taken, but stated that preliminary investigations have revealed violations by these companies in mining activities, licenses, and forest land use. (3) Kurniawan is a key figure in Indonesia’s mining industry; he rose rapidly after leaving Glencore more than a decade ago to become Indonesia’s largest nickel ore trader. (4) Indonesia accounts for about 60% of the global nickel supply, and any action against its vast mining network could cause significant upheaval in the industry. (5) An industry survey last year reported that Kurniawan’s nickel ore trading volume would account for about one-third of Indonesia’s total nickel ore supply in 2024; he also holds mining rights in at least 20 mining areas in Indonesia with a core business partner.

[Indonesia Launches Tiered Issuance of US Dollar Islamic Bonds, First Public Issuance of US Dollar Bonds Since MSCI Warning] (1) The Indonesian government launched a tiered issuance of US dollar bonds on Thursday; this is the first time the Indonesian sovereign government has publicly announced the issuance of US dollar bonds since MSCI warned last month that it might remove Indonesian stocks from its global indices.

(3) Indonesia's economy is worth US$1.4 trillion; MSCI previously stated that Indonesia's efforts to address related market issues were far from sufficient, and the country might be downgraded two levels to the same investment category as markets such as Zimbabwe. Since then, Indonesia has received widespread market attention.

[Goldman Sachs: Midterm Election "Blue Tsunami" May Significantly Impact AI and Data Center Regulation, But Development Suspension Expected to be Short-lived] (1) Goldman Sachs says the US midterm election results are a "blue tsunami" that could have a significant impact on artificial intelligence and data center regulation. (2) Strategists including Jenny Grimberg wrote in a report that given the Democrats' much larger-than-expected majority in the House and Senate, they expect the Democrats to use the upcoming fiscal deadline to seek policy concessions, especially limiting the war with Iran, removing some tariffs, and overturning recent spending cuts. (3) Consistent with this assessment, oil risk premiums have declined; however, Goldman Sachs believes there is a downside risk to Middle Eastern oil supply, which could push risk premiums up again. (4) Goldman Sachs also believes that the Democratic victory at the state and local levels will have a significant impact on artificial intelligence and data center regulation; its equity analysts believe this could negatively impact some US utility companies and independent power producers. (5) However, Goldman Sachs expects the importance of data center issues to "diminish out" in the future, and any development suspension will be short-lived.

[Demand at Japan's 10-year government bond auction is robust, bid-to-cover ratio slightly below average, tail spread widens] (1) Demand at Japan's 10-year government bond auction on Thursday was largely in line with the average of the past 12 months, indicating that market demand remains robust despite recent yield declines. (2) The bid-to-cover ratio was 3.21, lower than the previous auction's 3.76 and slightly lower than the past 12-month average of 3.24; the tail spread, which measures the distribution of bid prices, was 0.25, higher than last month's 0.02. (3) With signs of recovery in domestic demand in Japan, coupled with inflows of funds from overseas investors supporting long-term government bonds, the benchmark 10-year government bond yield has fallen from a high of 3.115% in late September to 2.79%. (4) This auction comes at a time when US Treasury yields have fallen after the US midterm elections; the Democratic Party's victory in controlling both houses of Congress has eased market concerns about further expansion of US fiscal spending.

(3) Meta-related taxes in Richland Parish, Louisiana, were used to pay a $50,000 bonus to public school teachers.
