Meanwhile, China’s factory-gate prices for October dropped for the first time since December 2020, underlining faltering domestic demand and disruption to production amid strict Covid-19 measures and a sluggish property sector.Results of the US midterm elections will decide whether the Democrats lose or retain congressional control halfway through President Joe Biden’s term, with investors expecting Republican gains.
Historically, stocks have tended to do better under a split government when a Democrat is in the White House, with investors attributing some of that performance to political gridlock that prevents either side from making major policy changes.
