According to Jin10, after Republicans lost their majorities in both chambers of Congress, Julius Baer Group's Head of Investment Andrew Jackson said in a report that control of the two chambers by different parties could support the U.S. Treasury market by limiting further fiscal spending. He said that preventing new spending does not mean reducing the existing fiscal deficit. Persistent deficits and substantial Treasury issuance could still limit declines in long-term U.S. Treasury yields, even as Congress strengthens its checks on the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump. Jackson also said inflation trends and Federal Reserve policy could have a greater impact on the bond market than the election result. A renewed rise in energy prices could further complicate the market outlook.

On November 4, South Korean telecom operator SK Telecom reported third-quarter consolidated net income of KRW 411.8 billion, reversing a net loss of KRW 166.7 billion a year earlier and beating market expectations of KRW 346.3 billion. According to Sina Finance, revenue rose 13.1% year over year to KRW 4.4973 trillion, while operating profit surged 1,040.3% to KRW 552.3 billion; both exceeded market expectations. The company said revenue from its wireless and fixed-line telecom businesses returned to growth, supporting an improvement in overall profitability. The sharp increase in operating profit was also affected by a low comparison base a year earlier. In the third quarter of 2025, SK Telecom recorded a net loss after providing customers with compensation, including service-fee reductions, extra data and coupons, following a major data breach. In the third quarter of this year, the impact of those compensation costs faded as wireless revenue gradually recovered. Fixed-line telecom revenue grew 7.4% year over year, partly due to an increase in broadband internet subscribers. SK Telecom continued to expand investment in AI infrastructure. The company launched its SK Hyper and SK Horizon business platforms in July and August, respectively. SK Horizon is developing data center projects in Ulsan and Seoul with a combined capacity of 180 megawatts, while SK Hyper is in talks with potential customers. SK Telecom announced a third-quarter dividend of KRW 830 per share, unchanged from its first- and second-quarter payouts this year.

A Politico poll found that two-thirds of Democratic voters want the House to block U.S. President Donald Trump’s agenda rather than compromise with him. According to ChainCatcher, after Democrats’ major electoral gains, Trump said he was willing to work with them in the next congressional term, while Democratic leaders signaled they would not readily let his administration’s actions over the past year pass without scrutiny. The poll also found that 65% of Democratic midterm voters want the House to prioritize opposing Trump’s agenda, even if that means sacrificing opportunities to advance legislation. Starting next January, Democrats will face pressure to enact their policies while balancing efforts to address the cost of living against a more aggressive oversight agenda.
