[People's Bank of China Strengthens Implementation of Stock Repurchase and Shareholding Increase Relending Policy] To maintain the stable operation of the capital market, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) is strengthening the implementation of the stock repurchase and shareholding increase relending policy. I. Effective November 4, 2026, the interest rate for stock repurchase and shareholding increase relending will be lowered by 0.25 percentage points to 1%. The stock repurchase and shareholding increase relending program will support 21 national banks and 5 systemically important city commercial banks, with a support ratio of 100%, a term of one year, and can be extended as needed by the banks. Banks can appropriately add points to the relending rate to reasonably determine the term and interest rate of the stock repurchase and shareholding increase loan, accelerate loan disbursement, and enhance the market capitalization management capabilities of listed companies and major shareholders. II. Sufficient relending quotas will be provided to banks. Following the stock repurchase and shareholding increase relending symposium on November 2, banks have submitted applications for stock repurchase and shareholding increase relending quotas exceeding RMB 200 billion to the PBOC. Going forward, the PBOC will continue to fully meet the banks' relending needs and support banks in actively connecting with the financing needs of listed companies and major shareholders.

[Hot News Recap: Multiple Bomb Threats Disrupt Flights and Cruise Ships in Europe, No Explosive Devices Found] 1. On Tuesday, at least seven flights and one cruise ship in Europe received bomb threats. Although no explosive devices were found, airport and shipping operations were disrupted. Affected flights included two to Warsaw, two to Sofia, two to Rome, and one to Murcia, Spain; another flight to Sofia had also received a threat the previous day. 2. One airport in Warsaw was temporarily closed. A LOT Polish Airlines flight from London to Warsaw was diverted to Modlin Airport, and after a search, no explosives were found. The airport reopened. A Scandinavian Airlines flight from Copenhagen to Warsaw landed normally at Chopin Airport, which reported normal operations. Bulgarian authorities stated that Witz Airlines and Ryanair flights from Milan/Bergamo and Dublin to Sofia landed safely, carrying 176 and 186 people respectively, and no explosive devices were found. 3. In Murcia, Spain, a Ryanair flight departing from Manchester received a threat, leading to a partial lockdown of the airport. The threat was later confirmed to be a hoax, and operations resumed. Rome's Fiumicino Airport also searched two other Ryanair flights, including one from Dublin escorted by the Italian Air Force. The alert was subsequently lifted. 4. The Panamanian-flagged cruise ship "Crown Iris," bound for Israel, was searched off the Greek island of Syros. Initial checks found no explosive devices, and coast guard experts will conduct further inspections before allowing it to resume operation. 5. Aviation risk consultancy Osprey Flight Solutions stated that seven confirmed bomb threats affecting flights in a single day are rare, and the lack of a clear target for any particular country, airline, or route suggests the aim may be to cause widespread disruption to air operations. No party has claimed responsibility; European officials have previously accused Russia and Iran of carrying out "hybrid attacks" and sabotage, which Moscow and Tehran have denied.

[Hot Topic Focus: US Midterm Elections Begin, Trump Faces Public Opinion Test] 1. Americans went to polls on Tuesday to participate in the midterm elections, seen as a test of public opinion for President Trump's second term. Polls and independent analysts generally favor the Democrats to regain control of the House of Representatives from the Republicans, while the Senate remains uncertain. All 435 seats in the House and 35 of the 100 seats in the Senate are up for election. Democrats need to win at least three House seats and four Senate seats to secure a majority in both houses. 2. Historical data is unfavorable to the ruling party. Since World War II, a president's party has only twice avoided losing congressional seats in midterm elections. The war between the US and Iran and rising fuel prices have fueled voter discontent, dragging Trump's approval ratings near lows. The Senate race is concentrated in nearly 10 closely contested state elections, most of which are in traditional Republican strongholds. 3. The election focus is almost entirely on Trump. Trump himself has repeatedly urged supporters to "pretend my name is on the ballot," a sentiment echoed by Democratic leaders. In a television interview Tuesday morning, Trump touted his achievements and expressed optimism about the Republican Party's prospects. He also stated his intention to halt the promised $3.8 billion in annual funding to Israel after this year, but how this will be implemented remains unclear given the 2020 legal provisions regarding the scale of such funding. 4. Since early October, Trump has held over 20 campaign rallies in an attempt to energize his base and has proposed sending $5,000 checks to every American adult if the Republicans retain control of Congress; this plan requires congressional approval. Republicans portray Democratic candidates as radicals, unpatriots, and even communists, but polls show voters are most concerned about the cost of living and do not approve of Trump's handling of this issue. 5. Reports of voting equipment problems have surfaced in multiple locations across the US, affecting counties in Georgia, Iowa, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin, potentially causing delays in voting and counting. Election experts say that individual machine malfunctions are not uncommon, and backup systems usually prevent impacting the results. Legal observers and Democrats warn that Trump, who has long claimed the election was rigged, may attempt to challenge the outcome if the Republicans lose. 6. The U.S. Justice Department announced Tuesday that it will deploy 1,000 election watchers and observers to all 50 states, calling it the largest Election Day monitoring operation in U.S. history. Democrats criticized the plan, suggesting it could constitute voter intimidation. Market analysis found that about two-thirds of the districts listed by the Justice Department support Harris rather than Trump in the 2024 election.
