BREAKING: Vice President JD Vance releases his first statement on the US Midterm Election results, saying "the reason we lost is the Iran War."
"To the people who are pissed off and want to say, 'I told you so': you're right, you did tell us so," Vance says.

The initial market reaction to the Democrats’ stunning win in the midterm elections is defying standard playbook expectations:
Stocks are higher and government bond yields are lower (CNBC data below).
What analysts would have likely predicted, however, is the performance within US equities where the Dow and S&P 500 are outperforming the NASDAQ.

The Federal Reserve kicks off its two-day meeting today, with markets overwhelmingly expecting tomorrow's announcement to hold rates unchanged.
We should expect a relatively hawkish tone in the remarks that follow, given the string of recent inflation data.
Dissents on the decision are possible, though that's less clear.
