What happened in the past 24 hours | October 31, 2026
【Today's highlights】
1. At the close of U.S. trading on October 30, the Dow fell 1.09%, the S&P 500 fell 1.82%, the Nasdaq fell 2.86%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 7.2%. Chip stocks fell more sharply; index performance does not represent the business conditions of every company.
2. International oil prices settled higher on October 30. December WTI crude closed at $104.12 per barrel, up 2.08%; December Brent crude in London closed at $117.64 per barrel, up 2.4%. The contract and settlement date should be stated together.
3. Guangxi's commerce authorities disclosed that, as of October 29, this year’s trade-in program for consumer goods had benefited nearly 7 million consumers cumulatively and generated over 40 billion yuan in sales. These are cumulative figures and should not be treated as new additions in a single day.
【A-shares/Chinese assets】
1. On October 30, the Shanghai Composite Index closed at 3,599.02 points, down 1.44%. This is Friday's closing data; October 31 is a Saturday, so it should not be described as intraday market performance today.
2. Total trading value on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets for the full day on October 30 was 1,674.468 billion yuan, an increase of 117.944 billion yuan from the previous trading day. Higher trading volume reflects trading activity; trading value alone cannot establish net fund inflows.
【Overseas markets】
1. On October 30, Intel shares fell 28.58% in U.S. trading, AMD fell 10.88%, and Nvidia fell 4.22%. Losses varied significantly within the sector; share price movements should be considered separately from factors such as earnings, valuation, and cash flow.
2. The U.S. Dollar Index stood at 101.878 at the New York close on October 30, down 0.16% for the day. Precious metals and the U.S. dollar do not always move in opposite directions by the same magnitude; a single indicator is not enough to explain the movements of all assets.
【What to watch】
1. Cumulative traffic through the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link surpassed 80 million vehicle trips as of October 30. The count began when the link opened on June 30, 2024; this cumulative figure should not be mistaken for traffic this year or on that day.
2. A typhoon update on the morning of October 31 said that Typhoon In-fa is currently forecast to have no impact on China's offshore waters in the coming days. This is a forecast based on its current track. It concerns a different weather system from the cold air moving over mainland China and rain and snow alerts, and should not be treated as a substitute for them.
【Domestic leads】
1. The Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link Management Center reported that cumulative traffic had surpassed 80 million vehicle trips. This provides a long-term indicator for monitoring cross-city transport in the Greater Bay Area; short-term changes still require traffic data broken down by time period.
【Overseas leads】
1. Fitch forecasts that France's debt-to-GDP ratio could rise from 115.7% in 2025 to about 124% in 2028. This is an institutional forecast, not data that has already been realized.
