[Trump Says Incumbent President's Party Is Hard to Win Midterm Elections] The US midterm elections officially begin today (November 3rd). Regarding this "midterm exam" for his administration, US President Trump, in his final campaign speech in Washington on the afternoon of November 2nd, stated, "The incumbent president's party usually loses in midterm elections, but this time we've fought hard." He urged voters who voted for him in the last general election to cast their ballots, claiming that if even a small percentage of them turn out, the Republican Party could win by a landslide. The US midterm elections don't elect the president, but rather all members of the House of Representatives, one-third of the senators, and a large number of governors and state legislators, among other local officials. The president's party often seems to succumb to the "midterm election curse." Statistics show that since World War II, from the Truman administration in 1946 to the Biden administration in 2022, there have been 20 midterm elections, and the incumbent president's party lost 18 times—meaning they lost seats. Only the incumbent presidents of 1998 and 2002, George W. Bush, achieved midterm election results that became the only two instances in postwar American political history where the president's party won the midterm elections (or at least did not lose seats).

[International Energy Agency: Global LNG Production May Face Largest Annual Cut in History, Natural Gas Market Supply Tightens Sharply] (1) The International Energy Agency (IEA) stated that the natural gas market is facing a severe supply shortage. (2) Affected by supply disruptions due to the conflict with Iran and increased competition among importing countries, global liquefied natural gas (LNG) production may experience its largest annual decline in history; the agency predicts that global LNG supply will decrease by 3% this year, approaching 20 billion cubic meters. (3) The Strait of Hormuz, which previously handled about 20% of global LNG shipments, is now experiencing shipping disruptions, coupled with Iran's attacks on key regional infrastructure, leading to a significant reduction in exports from Qatar and the UAE. (4) The Paris-based energy agency, representing Western countries and their allies, stated that the forecast is based on the premise that trade and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz will remain largely disrupted at least until the end of this year. (5) Increased production in other regions has alleviated the supply shock to some extent: new projects in North America and Africa, coupled with existing LNG plants in Africa, Asia and Russia obtaining more gas sources, led to a 14% increase in production outside the Persian Gulf from March to October, making up for about two-thirds of the supply gap in the Gulf region.

[What is the significance of raising the foreign exchange deposit reserve ratio for financial institutions to 6%? Expert analysis is here] Today (October 3), the People's Bank of China (PBOC) announced that, in order to strengthen the management of foreign exchange liquidity in financial institutions, it has decided to raise the foreign exchange deposit reserve ratio for financial institutions by 2 percentage points, effective November 15, 2026. After the increase, the foreign exchange deposit reserve ratio will rise from the current 4% to 6%. Experts explained that when the RMB exchange rate appreciates too rapidly, the central bank's increase in the foreign exchange deposit reserve ratio can tighten domestic dollar liquidity and alleviate the pressure of RMB appreciation. Experts stated that the central bank's decisive action will, on the one hand, freeze approximately $200 to $250 billion in foreign exchange liquidity at the banking level, promoting a balance between supply and demand in the domestic foreign exchange market; on the other hand, it will also help break the illusion of unilateral exchange rate appreciation held by some entities, stabilize market expectations, and maintain the smooth operation of the foreign exchange market.

[India's Increased Gold Import Tariffs Boost Informal Imports; Illegal Gold Imports Reach Highest Level Since 2023 in Q3] (1) A World Gold Council report shows that, driven by the Indian government's increase in import tariffs, informal import activities have increased significantly, with the country's illegal gold imports reaching their highest level since 2023 in the third quarter. (2) The World Gold Council, citing data from consulting firm Metals Focus, points out that from July to September, India's informal gold imports increased more than 15 times year-on-year, from 3 tons in the same period last year to 50 tons. (3) The report does not detail how these trade activities are tracked; such imports are often carried out through channels that evade official tariffs, such as smuggling, or by individuals carrying small amounts of gold into the country in batches. (4) The World Gold Council notes that past experience shows that raising import taxes often "increases" the incentive to import gold through such channels. (5) Previously, the Indian government more than doubled the import tax on gold and silver to 15% in an effort to curb gold demand in response to the widening trade deficit caused by rising energy prices; as the world’s second-largest gold consumer, India’s informal gold trading market has remained active since then.

[World Gold Council: Central Banks' Gold Purchases Hit New High Since 2024 in Q3] ⑴ A report released by the World Gold Council shows that against the backdrop of rising oil prices and a high-interest-rate environment, global central banks made net purchases of 307 tons of gold in the third quarter, marking the highest pace of purchases since the end of 2024. ⑵ In the first nine months of this year, central banks collectively increased their gold holdings by a net 642 tons, slightly higher than the same period last year, becoming an important support for gold prices. ⑶ China and Poland were the main buyers this quarter, increasing their holdings by 58 tons and 37 tons respectively; Russia was the main seller, reducing its holdings by 16 tons during the period. ⑷ Strategists from the World Gold Council analyzed that the phased correction in gold prices attracted some central banks to buy on dips, and the strengthening of the US dollar also prompted some central banks to actively adjust their reserve structures and increase their gold holdings to hedge risks. ⑸ Market opinions suggest that continued central bank gold purchases can provide medium- to long-term support for gold prices, but are unlikely to completely offset the downward pressure from rising real interest rates.

[Saudi Aramco's Q3 Profits Rise 9%, Strait of Hormuz Crude Oil Exports Remain Strong] (1) Saudi Aramco's Q3 profits rose 9%, boosted by rising oil prices due to the war, while crude oil exports via the tense Strait of Hormuz remained strong. (2) According to the statement, adjusted net profit for the third quarter rose to $31.2 billion from $28.6 billion in the same period last year, exceeding the average analyst expectation of $28.7 billion. (3) Profit growth is a major positive for Saudi Arabia; the ongoing Houthi attacks in Yemen are putting pressure on the Saudi economy and making the market more focused on the stability of its oil revenues. (4) In September, Saudi Aramco increased crude oil shipments from Rastanura, its main export hub in the Persian Gulf, in an effort to regain market share from Asian buyers; after the attack on the East-West pipeline disrupted alternative shipping routes in the Red Sea and the pipeline was temporarily shut down, the company turned to shipping routes via the Strait of Hormuz.

[Malaysia's October Palm Oil Inventory May Reach Record High] (1) Surveys show that Malaysia's October palm oil inventory is expected to increase by 6.8% month-on-month to 3.75 million tons, potentially reaching a record high and marking the seventh consecutive month of growth. (2) Production is expected to increase by 3.8% to 2.2 million tons, surpassing the September record of 2.12 million tons and marking the fifth consecutive month of growth; exports are expected to increase by 42.8% to 1.6 million tons, ending two consecutive months of decline and reaching the highest level in nearly a year; imports are expected to be 50,000 tons. (3) Paramalingam Supramaniam, director of brokerage firm Pelindung Bestari, said that with a large backlog of carryover inventory, the surge in exports has failed to reduce end-user inventory; high inventory may persist until at least the first quarter of 2027, when El Niño may disrupt the weather and suppress production. (4) Anilkumar Bagani, head of research at Sunvin Group, said that October production has not yet declined and is expected to reach a record high and surpass the September peak; imports and domestic consumption are basically balanced, with production and exports being the main drivers of the increase in ending inventory. (5) The Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) plans to release monthly data on November 10; based on the median estimate from the survey, domestic consumption in October was approximately 407,897 tons.
