新加坡，11月4日 - 周三，美国股市期货下滑，美元走软，投资者为美国中期选举结果做准备，关注焦点在于民主党能否从总统唐纳德·特朗普的共和党手中夺取国会控制权。
SINGAPORE, Nov 4 - US stock futures slid and the dollar softened on Wednesday as investors girded for results from US midterm election with the focus on whether Democrats can wrest control of Congress from President Donald Trump's Republicans.

Democrats are favoured to capture the House and both parties are locked in an intense state-by-state battle for the Senate, leaving investors and markets on edge.
“对交易者而言，微弱的民主党多数席位与压倒性胜利之间的区别至关重要，”佩珀斯通研究主管克里斯·韦斯顿表示。“微弱的‘蓝色浪潮’可能已大体反映在价格中。”在美国参议院，至少有九场竞选被视为激烈，周二35个席位中，民主党首先赢得一席，弗吉尼亚州参议员马克·沃纳如预期般连任。民主党需要净增四席才能夺取该院控制权。
"For traders, the distinction between a narrow Democratic majority and a commanding victory is critical," said Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone. "A narrow blue wave may be largely priced in." In the US Senate, where at least nine races are seen as competitive, Democrats won the first of 35 seats up for grabs on Tuesday, with US Senator Mark Warner winning reelection in Virginia as expected. Democrats need to net four seats to win control of that chamber.
韦斯顿表示，市场最大反应可能不来自谁赢得国会，而来自胜选的决胜程度以及结果与预期的偏离程度。标普500期货下跌0.5%，纳斯达克期货下跌0.9%。
Weston said the greatest market reaction may come not from who wins Congress, but from how decisively they win and how far the result deviates from expectations. Futures for S&P 500 slid 0.5% while Nasdaq futures fell 0.9%.
