- Asian Stocks Slump, Nikkei Loses Over 2,200 Points as US Development Reverses Market
Asian stock markets fell sharply on the morning of 4 November as US midterm election vote counting began, with early results suggesting the Democrats could win control of the House and were leading in some Senate races. Japan's Nikkei 225 at one point dropped more than 2,200 points, or 3.6%, with chip-memory maker Kioxia Holdings falling more than 11%, while South Korea's KOSPI slipped more than 3% and Taiwan's Taiex fell nearly 1%. Investors are concerned that a Democratic-led Congress may be less supportive of data-centre construction than Republicans under President Donald Trump, after the Nasdaq rose 0.8% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index (SOX) gained 2.6% on Wall Street in the previous session. The US dollar also weakened against the yen, falling from above 158 yen to about 157.60 yen per dollar.
- How Would US-China Relations Look if Trump's Party Loses Congress?
Results of the US midterm elections could shift the balance of power in Congress, but the Democrats' immediate priorities are likely to be investigating the current administration and checking President Donald Trump's executive power. Chen Dongxiao, president of the Shanghai Institutes for International Studies, told The Paper that the vote is unlikely to cause major disruption to US-China ties, since the president retains considerable autonomy in foreign policy and both parties largely agree on China strategy. Two issues could add strain: Taiwan, where lawmakers have long been unhappy with Trump's delays in approving arms sales to Taipei, and AI, where competition and cooperation can coexist as both sides seek advantage while managing global security risks. Despite positive signals, including friendly personal ties between Trump and Xi during the September Washington visit, distrust and rivalry for power remain key challenges.
- From 1 January 2027, Regional Minimum Wages Rise; Employers May Not Cut Allowances to Offset Pay
Decree 399/2026/NĐ-CP, effective 1 January 2027, sets monthly minimum wages for employees on labour contracts at VND 5.7 million in Region I, VND 5.08 million in Region II, VND 4.45 million in Region III and VND 4.04 million in Region IV. Employers must review labour contracts, collective labour agreements and internal regulations and adjust them accordingly, and may not abolish or reduce pay entitlements for overtime, night work or in-kind meal allowances. Existing agreements that are more favourable to workers, such as pay for jobs requiring training at least 7% above the minimum wage or arduous, hazardous work at least 5% higher, continue to apply unless the parties agree otherwise. Pay under weekly, daily, piece-rate or contract arrangements, when converted to monthly or hourly terms, also cannot fall below the corresponding minimum.
- Novo Resources expands high-grade gold search - ICYMI
Novo Resources (TSX:NVO, ASX:NVO) is set to begin a 2,700-metre reverse circulation (RC) drilling program at the Clone prospect within its Tibooburra Gold Project in New South Wales, targeting extensions of high-grade gold mineralisation. The campaign follows up on 2025 drilling that returned 12 metres at 5.9 grams per tonne gold from near surface, and will focus on tracking the mineralised system to the north and testing its down-plunge continuation at depth. The broader Albert Goldfield spans about 30 kilometres of strike, but much of it has seen little modern exploration, and faulting and cross-cutting structures also need to be understood. Novo holds 70% of a joint venture with Manhattan Gold Corporation Ltd, where it is operator, and is running regional stream sediment, rock-chip and soil sampling to identify new drill targets for 2027.

- ZachXBT identifies French bank as alleged victim of $133M crypto theft
Onchain investigator ZachXBT has identified French banking group Crédit Mutuel Arkéa as the alleged victim of a crypto theft exceeding $133 million, and warned the total could be higher because some OTC transactions may not be counted. The bank's involvement has not been independently verified or confirmed by the bank, which did not respond to Cointelegraph's request for comment. ZachXBT first flagged over $106 million in suspicious withdrawals from centralized exchanges on Monday, then raised the estimate after another $27 million surfaced on Tuesday. Blockchain analytics firm Bitquery traced about $63 million in stablecoins converted into Ether within four hours, and Kraken and Crypto.com said they had restricted accounts or blocked related funds, stating their platforms remained secure.
