[Germany's October Services PMI Final Reading Revised Up to 52.5, Growth Slows Slightly] ⑴ Germany's final S&P Global Services PMI for October was revised upward to 52.5, from an initial reading of 51.7, but lower than September's 52.9. ⑵ The index remained in expansion territory for the second consecutive month, but the pace of growth slowed slightly due to a renewed decline in new business inflows, partly dragged down by weaker domestic and overseas demand. ⑶ Meanwhile, backlogs of orders supported activity levels. Employment fell for the first time since July, the largest drop in six months. ⑷ On the price front, input cost inflation slowed for the first time in four months, partly reflecting the recovery of fuel discounts, but price pressures remain high by historical standards. Output price inflation also eased. ⑸ Despite weak demand and declining employment, business confidence rose to its highest level since February, supported by expectations of an economic recovery.

Employment also rose slightly, broadly in line with historical averages. ⑷ Meanwhile, cost pressures rose to their strongest level in four years, with both manufacturing and services pushing up costs.

[UK gilt yields fall] The yield on 10-year UK gilts fell to 5.23% on Wednesday, following a decline in US Treasury yields after a Democratic sweep in the US midterm elections. The Democrats' control of the House of Representatives is seen as reducing the likelihood of further deficit-expanding legislation by the Trump administration, thus easing market concerns about federal borrowing. Meanwhile, investors are preparing for the Bank of England's expected resumption of monetary tightening on Thursday, widely anticipated to be its first rate hike since 2023. Inflationary pressures from the Iran war, coupled with the resilience of the UK economy, have strengthened the case for raising borrowing costs. However, policymakers are expected to counter market expectations of multiple rate hikes next year.

[Midterm Elections and Iran Situation Intertwine, Oil Prices Volatile] 1. Oil prices fluctuated significantly on Wednesday. Investors are focused on the next steps the US will take against Iran; this comes after the Democratic Party regained control of Congress from Trump's Republican Party in the US midterm elections. Brent crude fell as much as 1.7% to $102.55 per barrel, but has since recovered to $104.26 per barrel; WTI crude fell as much as 1.5% to $94.90 per barrel, but has since recovered to around $96.81 per barrel, a gain of about 0.7%. 2. The previous trading day, Brent crude fell more than 1%, hitting a near four-week low, as traders assessed progress in negotiations related to ending the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Iran war. 3. Priyanka Sachdeva, head of market insights at Phillip Nova, said that Trump's contradictory signals—continuing military strikes while downplaying escalation—have made it difficult for traders to form a clear direction. She believes that some profit-taking and reduction of speculative long positions are reasonable after the sharp rise in oil prices in October. 4. A US official stated that the US conducted a "defensive" strike on Iran's Qeshm Island on Tuesday, targeting surface-to-air missiles used to attack US assets; another official stated that the strike was limited in scale and did not signify the resumption of large-scale warfare.

[The Central Bank of Uzbekistan Maintains Benchmark Interest Rate at 14%] ⑴ The Central Bank of Uzbekistan will maintain its policy interest rate at 14% at its November 2026 meeting, upholding a tight monetary policy stance amid persistent inflationary pressures. ⑵ The annual inflation rate rose to 6.4% in September from 6.2% in August, while core inflation was 5.5%. ⑶ The Central Bank identified strong domestic demand and volatility in global food and energy markets as the main upside risks to inflation. Despite some easing of inflation expectations, price pressures remain high, prompting regulators to maintain a cautious approach. ⑷ The Central Bank expects inflation to fall to around 7% by the end of 2026, subsequently gradually declining towards its target of 5% by the end of 2027. ⑸ Meanwhile, Uzbekistan's economy grew by 8.3% year-on-year from January to September 2026, reflecting the resilience of economic activity and continued support from domestic demand. ⑹ Maintaining the interest rate indicates that the regulators' primary task is to curb inflation while supporting macroeconomic stability.
