The Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) in China's industry in October fell to 49.2 points compared with 49.6 points in the previous month, the State Statistical Office reported.

The indicator dropped below 50 level for the first time since February 2020, when it fell to a record low. Analysts predicted an increase in the index to 49.7 points.
At the parliamentary elections held in Japan on Sunday, the coalition of Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, having lost several seats, was able to maintain a majority in parliament, according to the election results. The Liberal Democratic Party of Kishida and its coalition partner, the Komeito Party, together won 293 of the 465 seats in the lower house of the country's parliament. The LDP lost 15 seats, but the 261 seats it won are an absolute majority - a level that allows the party and its ruling bloc to control all parliamentary committees and easily pass legislative initiatives through parliament.
