[Swiss inflation rises to near three-year high in October, with energy prices being the main driver] (1) Driven by a sharp rise in oil prices and a weakening Swiss franc, Switzerland's inflation rate has risen to its highest level in nearly three years. (2) The Swiss National Statistics Office announced on Tuesday that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 1.5% year-on-year in October, up from 1% in September and also higher than economists' expectations. (3) Although this figure is still within the Swiss National Bank's inflation target range of 0% to 2%, it is significantly higher than policymakers' forecast of 1.2% for the fourth quarter; officials believe that this round of inflation acceleration is mainly temporary and said that medium-term inflationary pressures have only increased slightly. (4) The Swiss National Bank's borrowing costs have remained at the lowest level in the world for more than a year, i.e., zero interest rates; partly because the cost shock caused by the war in Iran has had a relatively mild impact on Switzerland. (5) Although gasoline prices have risen, energy accounts for a small proportion of Switzerland's inflation basket, so its driving effect on overall inflation indicators is limited; the Swiss National Statistics Office said that the rise in heating oil, gasoline and diesel prices in October was the main factor driving inflation. (6) The core inflation rate, excluding items with large fluctuations such as energy, remained unchanged at 0.5%.

[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.
