International News
1. US Non-farm Employment Report for September
The number of non-farm payrolls in the United States increased by 336,000 in September, which is the largest increase this year, and much higher than the expectation of 170,000, the previous number was revised from 187,000 to 227,000; the unemployment rate in the United States was 3.8% in September, higher than the expected rate of 3.7%, consistent with the previous rate; Average hourly wages in the United States rose 4.2% year-on-year and 0.2% month-on-month in September. The data shows that the momentum in the US labor market is unabated, strengthening the case for the Fed to raise interest rates again. The dynamism of the employment market suggests that enterprises remain confident in their sales prospects. Despite the slowdown in hiring since last year, labor market resilience remains a key source of strength for household spending and the broad economy. For the Fed, however, a strong labor market could keep inflation under upward pressure. Data released by the U.S. government, along with other data such as the recent rise in job openings, could prompt the Fed officials to lean toward raising rates again before the end of the year.
2. Report: the German government expects the economy to contract by 0.4 percent this year
According to sources, the German government predicts that the economy will contract by 0.4% this year in its autumn forecast draft, grow by 1.3% next year, and grow by 1.5% in 2025. The government predicted that the economic growth rate in 2023 would be 0.4% in April .

The Russian government raised its downstream spending from October, and Russia imposed a prohibited fuel tax on gray market exporters.
4. The WTO lowered its forecast for global commodity trade growth in 2023, saying that growth was generally weak
The World Trade Organization (WTO) believes that the growth rate of global commodity trade this year will be less than half of what was predicted six months ago. On October 5th, the World Trade Organization stated in a report that it is expected that the volume of commodity trade in 2023 will increase by 0.8% year-on-year, lower than the 1.7% increase predicted in April, which would be much lower than the annual growth rate 2.6% since the global financial crisis. Trade seems to be slowing down comprehensively, involving a large number of countries and various commodities, especially manufactured goods of certain categories such as steel, office and telecommunications equipment, textiles and clothing... Inflation, high interest rates, the appreciation of the US dollar, and geopolitical tensions are all contributing to the situation.
