The mid-term elections in the United States are coming on schedule. Judging from the current signs, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are evenly matched.

The results of the selected analysis were predicted.

Thestreet: leading events in US stocks this week

This week, the United States will have a mid-term election, and the Federal Reserve will hold a conference on interest rates on 2-3 November.

Market sentiment for the first week of November is very high.

Industry analysts pointed out that the announcement of the mid-term election results will help to uncover the mystery of previous policy choices.

It is precisely because of the speculation on the uncertainty of the policy results that the market investors are cautious in their proofreading and are afraid to let go of the operation.

US stock market slump on Friday also fully illustrates this problem.

Not only that, the new decision of the fed at this meeting will also point out the direction for the future economic development.

It seems that the Federal Reserve has introduced a new round of quantitative easing policy at this conference, but market investors are concerned about the specific size of the Federal Reserve's purchases of treasury bonds.

As some indicators of economic data have improved, the Fed's efforts to buy treasury bonds may be lower than earlier market expectations.

MarketWatch: Federal Reserve Policy and mid-term elections determine economic trend.

According to the plan, a series of macroeconomic data including October employment figures will be released in the next week, but the most recent concern is the upcoming mid term elections in the US Congress and the latest plan of the US central bank to stimulate the US economic recovery.

According to the plan, the mid-term election of the US Congress will take place on Thursday, which is likely to lead to a change in the control of Congress.

Analysts believe that if the Republican Party wins a huge victory in the mid-term election process, the US government's high office will be controlled, and the implementation of the major regulatory reforms launched by the Democratic Party will also be hampered.

On the other hand, US President Obama may also agree with the Republican Party on extending the tax relief policy.

Daily Telegraph: UK government plans to ensure natural gas supply

The British government plans to amend the existing bill to persuade major energy companies to build sufficient reserves of natural gas to ease the tight supply of natural gas.

It is learnt that the British government's move is mainly to ensure that Britain's natural gas supply will not be affected by price changes and reserve shortages.

Two years ago, Russia cut off the supply of natural gas to Western Europe because of disputes with Ukraine, which caused serious inconvenience to the British people at that time.

According to the British government's bill reform plan, if Britain's domestic natural gas supply is insufficient, then energy companies will pay higher natural gas purchase price. In this case, the major energy companies will choose to increase the supply of natural gas.

It is learned that these contents will be introduced as part of the British coalition government's energy security and green economy bill.

"We think this is a step in the right direction, which will enable the British people to get the normal supply of natural gas under unconventional circumstances," said a spokesman for the Centrica Group PLC of the British Gas Transmission and distribution company.
