US midterms 2026: Who would've thought that a war would be a bad idea?
Well, well, well. Who would've thought that starting a war might not be the greatest way to win over voters? That especially when ordinary Americans are the ones feeling the pinch and getting hit where it hurts most, that being their wallets. And now, it looks like Trump is the one paying the politi

Trump allies are pointing to the Iran war as the reason for the election disaster
The joke tonight is that Trump went to Iran for regime change and he got it, only in the USA.The numbers so far are ghastly for Republicans in a huge blue wave, including multiple major upsets and a possible Senate majority so large it will be nearly impossible to reverse for 4-6 years.There is stil
China services PMI slows to 50.8 in October as price cuts meet rising costs
The data adds to the picture of a Chinese economy still growing but struggling with weak pricing power, which helps explain why authorities are leaning on targeted support such as this week’s expanded buyback lending. Falling selling prices alongside rising costs point to margin pressure for listed
It's no longer early, this election is looking like a disaster for Republicans
It's no longer early as US votes roll in.There is a highly statistically significant number of districts reporting now and some of them reporting completely. The numbers are showing a 10-35 point swing towards Democrats. If even the bottom of that holds, it's a huge swing towards Democrats.For illus
Recap: New Zealand jobless rate hits 11-year high, kiwi slips as RBNZ hike bets fade
The steady drift lower in the kiwi since the release suggests traders are pricing out some of the chance of a December hike rather than reacting to a one-off headline. The fall in two-year swaps supports that reading. With the RBA still leaning hawkish, the widening policy gap leaves NZD/AUD vulnera

Carney’s remarks offer modest support for the Canadian dollar, as any easing of the 50% US tariff would lift a weight on Canadian exporters and the growth outlook. The lack of a timeline limits how much a trade-deal premium can build, so USD/CAD is likely to stay more sensitive to the US midterm res
NZ Q3 Unemployment rate 5.7% (expected 5.5%, prior 5.6%)
The miss on every major measure is likely to weigh on the New Zealand dollar and trim pricing for a December rate hike. The kiwi was already near a cycle low against the Australian dollar after last week’s RBNZ hold, and the gap with a more hawkish RBA now looks set to widen. The weak jobs figures a

Two reasons why the US could attack Iran as soon as tomorrow
Oil has been falling this week but there's a fair argument that Trump could be attempting to send false signals in order to lower oil prices ahead of the vote. Behind the scenes, the US military has been angling to be in a position to attack immediately after the midterms. The New York Times cites U
