U.S. stocks and long-dated Treasurys both rose on November 4, 2026, after Democrats swept the midterms, with SPY up 1.65% to $766.82 and TLT up 0.8% to $81.76. The 2025 reconciliation law raised the debt limit by $5 trillion to $41.1 trillion, but total public debt of $40.547 trillion on November 3 leaves about $754 billion of room, below the $800 billion in net private borrowing Treasury expects from January through March. The Bipartisan Policy Center estimates the limit could be reached between late winter and mid-summer 2027, while Wall Street estimates place the X-date in the fourth quarter of 2027. The author argues TLT carries more risk than Wednesday's rally suggests, since long bonds would take the heaviest hit in a prolonged standoff, and notes TLT trades closer to its 52-week low of $76.43 than its high of $90.86. Signals to watch include the October jobs report on November 6, next week's $125 billion refunding auctions, and any close by TLT below $76.43.

- Colombia Delays US$3 . 3 Billion of Debt
Colombia has pushed back about US$3.3 billion of bond payments due in 2026 and 2027 by swapping peso Treasury bonds (TES) worth COP 10.3 trillion for longer-dated bonds, its second swap in three weeks. The Finance Ministry says payments due fall by about US$475 million in 2026 and US$2.8 billion in 2027, but the swap does not reduce what the state owes. The swap cost about US$148 million, or 4.5% of the amount exchanged. The article cites a projected 2027 deficit of 9.4% of GDP unless new measures are adopted. A third and final swap this year is scheduled for November 19, 2026, and S&P and Fitch rate Colombia below investment grade.
- The nightmare of the Greek crisis wakes up - Alarm from 6 houses , fearing the debt domino from France
France has one of the highest fiscal deficits as a percentage of GDP among the 21 euro zone countries, and its economy has nearly stagnated, with the 2026 growth forecast cut to 0.5%. Its 10-year yield surpassed 5% this week for the first time since 2002, and the French-German spread topped 170 basis points on Thursday, a level not seen since the early 2010s debt crisis. Analysts recall the 2009 Greek crisis but broadly agree that reforms since then limit the risk of contagion. ING's Carsten Brzeski says France has no immediate liquidity risk but faces a lack of trust from bond markets, while Ninety One's John Stopford estimates spreads would likely need to exceed 200 basis points before the situation is seen as a real crisis. Political instability and social unrest add doubts over whether the government can stabilize public finances.
- France is flashing euro crisis signals . This time , the fault lines are different
The euro has fallen almost 5% against the dollar this year, while France's 10-year bond yield rose above 5% for the first time since 2002. The French-German 10-year spread exceeded 170 basis points on Thursday, a level not seen since the early 2010s euro zone debt crisis, and the cost of insuring French debt via credit default swaps is at its highest since then. Economists warn a new vicious cycle is forming, as rising debt concerns push up yields and interest costs across major economies. ING says there is no imminent liquidity risk for France but bond markets lack trust, while Ninety One notes investors increasingly see France on Europe's periphery. France's debt-to-GDP ratio was 119% at the end of Q2 2026, close to Greece's 128% in late 2009, and a spillover could raise borrowing costs for Italy and Spain.
- France is flashing euro crisis signals. This time, the fault lines are different
The euro has fallen almost 5% against the dollar since the start of the year, while France's 10-year bond yield rose above 5% for the first time since 2002. The spread over German 10-year bonds exceeded 170 basis points on Thursday for the first time since the early 2010s euro zone debt crisis, and the cost of insuring French debt against default is at its highest since then. The article attributes the pressure to France's high deficit-to-GDP ratio, a growing debt pile, a 2026 growth forecast cut to 0.5% and political instability. Analysts say there is no imminent liquidity risk for the French government, and contagion risk across the euro zone appears more limited than in the past thanks to reforms, although bond market trust has weakened.
- Democrats Win: What Lies Ahead for US Financial Markets?
Democrats won control of both the House and Senate in the 3 November midterm elections, which investors see as a major test for US assets. The article argues an opposition-controlled Congress could narrow the policy risk premium, but the risk shifts to the debt ceiling in mid-2027 and to tariffs targeting trade-surplus economies. On 21 October, the 10-year Treasury yield was around 5.12%, up more than 100 basis points from late October 2025, while the effective fed funds rate stayed near 3.88%. More than half of the 10-year yield comes from term premium, which is sensitive to fiscal decisions and the risk of the Fed losing independence, while legislative gridlock could limit major changes to taxes, spending and regulation. The debt ceiling is projected to be reached at about USD 41,100 billion in mid-2027, while the TGA balance of about USD 883 billion in mid-October could drive liquidity swings as the Treasury draws it down.
- Ranking the Countries That Owe China the Most
Based on a Visual Capitalist chart of World Bank International Debt Statistics, Pakistan tops the ranking with $22.38 billion owed to Chinese creditors in 2024, nearly $8 billion more than second-placed Angola at $14.4 billion. Chinese financing has funded power plants and transport in Pakistan, where CPEC projects completed by end-2024 added more than 8,900 megawatts to the grid and built nearly 900 km of highways and national roads. Kenya owes $5.37 billion, with Chinese loans covering about 90% of the Mombasa-Nairobi railway, while Congo owes $2.97 billion, more than a tenth of its annual nominal economic output, and Sri Lanka owes $8.69 billion. Accusations of 'debt-trap diplomacy' remain contested, as researchers point to broader economic conditions in borrowing countries. Angola's debt fell nearly one-fifth in 2023-2024, though its ability to repay early depends closely on global oil prices.

- Solana Labs’ Leap Launches Mobile App for Trading Tokenized Stocks and Crypto
Leap, a new company under Solana Labs, launched a beta mobile app that lets users trade tokenized stocks, ETFs, metals, currencies and crypto in one place, around the clock and subject to restrictions. It is available in early access on iPhone via TestFlight, with Android coming soon, and is not offered in the U.K. or other restricted regions. Pitched as an alternative to fast meme coin trading, the app pins market-moving news to price charts, tracks profit and loss, and executes trades as onchain swaps routed through Jupiter. Leap charges no fees at launch but plans to use future fees to buy and burn SOL and fund a referral program, in which early Founders Club members would earn 30% of trading fees from users they invite. The launch comes as tokenized stocks gain traction, though 56 companies have objected to having their shares traded on the tokenized stock venue planned by OKX and ICE.
- Nvidia has lost nearly $1.4 trillion since its October record
Nvidia is on track for its fifth straight losing week, and the slide since its October 6 record has erased nearly $1.4 trillion in market value. On Thursday morning, the stock fell more than 9%, wiping out about $450 billion and leaving the company near $4.4 trillion; a close there would be its worst day since the DeepSeek selloff in January 2025. AMD, Micron and Arm posted steep double-digit losses, Broadcom and Taiwan Semiconductor (TSM) fell near 10%, and the PHLX Semiconductor Index is more than a third below its June record. The trigger is Washington, where Democrats won both chambers of Congress and candidates in both parties campaigned against AI data centers. Stifel's Brian Gardner expects congressional hearings and investigations, while history shows Nvidia was higher 13 weeks later after only 5 of 12 earlier streaks of five or more down weeks.
- We're raising our price target on Cardinal Health after another stellar quarter of profits
Cardinal Health reported fiscal 2027 first-quarter revenue of $67.51 billion, up 4% year over year and above the $66.6 billion consensus per LSEG. Adjusted EPS rose 28% to $3.26, beating the $2.94 consensus, and the company raised its full-year adjusted EPS guidance. The Pharmaceutical and Specialty Solutions segment beat sales and profit expectations on strong demand for generic and specialty drugs, while the Other segment missed on both revenue and operating profit. Global Medical Products and Distribution posted $33 million in operating profit, above expectations but down 28% from a year earlier. The author raised the price target and trimmed 50 shares after the stock's gains, but remains a long-term believer in the company.

- AI Data Center Boom Runs Into a Political Wall
According to Needham, the U.S. midterm results may make approvals for new AI data centers harder, making the next phase of the infrastructure boom slower, more expensive and more politically complicated. Democrats gained control of Congress and several key governorships, including Texas, while opposition to data centers centers on electricity prices, water use, environmental impact and tax incentives. Needham argues Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOG) and Meta (META) could benefit, since already-permitted capacity becomes more valuable when new projects are harder to approve, while newer developers could face delays, higher costs and stranded projects.
- Bitcoin crashes 6% to 7-week low as US stocks erase election gains
Bitcoin fell more than 6% to $75,463 on Thursday, its lowest since Sept. 16, as US stocks gave back their post-midterm election gains. The S&P 500 dropped 2.7%, and the Nasdaq Composite fell more than 4% to its lowest since July 29 as traders rotated out of tech. BTC/USD briefly slipped below its 50-week simple moving average of $75,733, and crypto markets liquidated nearly $500 million in the first hour of the US session. Oil rebounded, with WTI back above $90 per barrel and Brent up 2.5% near $97, after reports of fresh strikes on tankers in the Middle East and uncertainty over Democrats' steps on the US-Iran war. Tandem Investment Advisors' Jordan Watson said more volatility is possible and that post-midterm equity gains should not be treated as an 'all-clear signal'.
