Beijing finally responds to Hong Kong election results after big win for democrats

Pan-democracy candidates in Hong Kong won almost 90% of 452 district council seats in Sunday's elections — widely seen as a barometer of public sentiment after months of social unrest in the special administrative region.
The results were also a stinging rebuke to Beijing-backed chief executive Carrie Lam and her administration.

Voters stand in line outside a polling station during the District Council election in the Lam Tin district of Hong Kong, China, on Sunday, Nov. 24, 2019.
After Hong Kong's pro-democracy candidates scored a landslide win in local elections, Chinese state media called the results "skewed" and a "setback" for the city's drive for democracy.
Pan-democrats in Hong Kong won almost 90% of 452 district council seats in Sunday's elections — widely seen as a barometer of public sentiment after months of social unrest in the special administrative region. The results were also a stinging rebuke to Beijing-backed chief executive Carrie Lam and her administration.
"The result of Sunday's district council election marks a setback for Hong Kong's democratic development, as the results were skewed by the illegal activities of the opposition camp to the benefit of their candidates," said China Daily in an editorial on Monday.

"In the run-up to Sunday's voting, members of the opposition camp, particularly their young agitators, engaged in an all-out campaign to sabotage the campaign activities of pro-establishment candidates and intimidate their supporters from going to the ballot box," added the English language newspaper.
What is Hong Kong's relationship with China?

Hong Kong — a former British colony, which returned to Chinese rule in 1997 — has been plagued by months of anti-government protests. The Chinese territory operates under the "one country, two systems" framework which grants Hong Kong self-governing power and various freedoms, including limited election rights. Demonstrators are angry at what they say is Chinese meddling in some of those freedoms.
The Chinese Communist Party's People's Daily reported Tuesday that the local elections in Hong Kong have concluded, but it did not mention the result.
The newspaper also said the months-long social unrest in Hong Kong has "severely disrupted the elections process" and added that "patriotic candidates" were harassed on the day of the election by those seeking chaos, according to a CNBC translation.
In a commentary on Monday, state news agency Xinhua blamed "foreign forces" and said the election "fell victim" to the social unrest.
"During the past more than five months, rioters conspired with foreign forces and escalated violent acts, which resulted in political antagonism, social splits, and setbacks in the economy," Xinhua said in the editorial.
"Campaigns of some patriotic candidates were seriously disrupted, and their offices were trashed and set ablaze. One candidate was injured in an attack. Harassment on patriotic candidates occurred on the voting day," according to the news agency.

'no idea'
The Global Times, a tabloid run by the ruling Communist Party flagship paper People's Daily, said on Monday the election was "highly politicized amid the ongoing social unrest," even as it sparked "reflection."
Beijing has not commented directly on the results of Hong Kong's election although President Xi Jinping's government has blamed foreign interference in its domestic affairs.
"The most pressing task for Hong Kong at the moment is stopping violence and restoring order. As Hong Kong is part of China, its affairs are purely domestic affairs. China is determined in safeguarding national sovereignty, security, and development interests," said Geng Shuang, a foreign ministry spokesman at a scheduled press conference on Monday, according to an official transcript.
"We are determined in implementing the principle of 'one country, two systems' and in opposing external interference in Hong Kong affairs," Geng added.

US economy grew at a moderate 2.1% annual rate in the third quarter

The U.S. economy grew at a moderate 2.1% rate over the summer, slightly faster than first estimated.
Many economists say, however, that they think growth is slowing sharply in the current quarter.
The Commerce Department says the July-September growth rate in the gross domestic product, the economy's total output of goods and services slightly exceeded its initial estimate of a 1.9% rate.

The economy had begun the year with a sizzling 3.1% GDP rate. Many economists have estimated that GDP growth is weakening in the current quarter to as slow as a sub-1% annual rate, largely because the U.S.-China trade war has led businesses to cut investment and inventories.

Still, the holiday shopping season is expected to be relatively healthy given solid job growth and consumer spending.

Weekly mortgage refinance applications surge over 300% from a year ago, but there's a catch
PUBLISHED 1 HOUR AGO UPDATED 1 HOUR AGO

CNBC.COM
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances fell to 3.97% last week from 3.99% the previous week.
Points dropped to 0.30 from 0.33 (including the origination fee) for loans with a 20% down payment.
Mortgage applications to refinance a home loan rose 4% for the week and were 314% higher compared with the same week one year ago.
Mortgage applications to purchase a home fell 1% for the week and were 55% higher than the same week one year ago.
Mortgage apps rise on year, fueled by lower interest rates
Pending home sales dip
Continued low mortgage rates are keeping bankers busy, as refinance applications continue to rise.
Refinance volume helped push total mortgage application volume up 1.5% last week compared with the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Volume was 153% higher compared with the same week one year ago. This week's annual comparisons are skewed, however, because last year the Thanksgiving holiday fell one week earlier, so these results are being measured against a holiday week.
Annual comparisons are also widening because mortgage rates are so much lower now than they were a year ago. The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances ($484,350 or less) decreased to 3.97% last week from 3.99% the previous week, with points dropping to 0.30 from 0.33 (including the origination fee) for loans with a 20% down payment. The rate was 115 basis points higher the same week one year ago, at 5.12%

"Mortgage rates stayed below 4% for the second straight week and borrowers responded positively," said Joel Kan, associate vice president of economic and industry forecasting at the MBA. "Refinances have been strong this month, but we are starting to see the average pace slow compared to the peak experienced in August through October."
Mortgage applications to refinance a home loan rose 4% for the week and were 314% higher compared with the same week one year ago, again, largely because of the holiday comparison. Refinance volume has been wobbling a bit lately week to week. So many borrowers have already refinanced to rock-bottom rates, so there is a dwindling pool of eligible candidates. Also, rates have been relatively steady for a while, which gives borrowers less incentive to jump into a refinance.
Mortgage applications to purchase a home fell 1% for the week and were 55% higher than the same week one year ago. That annual comparison should probably be ignored, as it has been in the single digits all year. Purchase volume is better than it was a year ago, but buyers are still facing a very tight and pricey housing market. Home price gains are accelerating again, and the supply of homes for sale has been falling for several months.

US durable goods orders rebound in October, rising 0.6%

Orders to U.S. factories for big-ticket manufactured goods rebounded last month on a surge in demand for military aircraft.
The Commerce Department says orders for durable goods — which are meant to last at least three years — rose 0.6% in October after dropping 1.4% in September. Orders for military aircraft soared 18.1%. Excluding defense, durable goods orders blipped up 0.1%.
The numbers reflected a strike at General Motors, settled in late October. Orders for cars and auto parts fell 1.9% in October and 2.9% in September.

American manufacturing has been hurt by a trade war with China and a slowing global economy. Overall October orders were better than economists had expected.
In addition, a closely watched category that tracks business investment rose 1.2% last month after dropping in September

The number of Americans filing applications for unemployment benefits fell last week, but the underlying trend suggested some softening in labor market conditions.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits declined 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted 213,000 for the week ended Nov. 23, the Labor Department said on Wednesday. Data for the prior week was revised to show 1,000 more claims received than previously reported.
The report was published a day early because of the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday. Claims had been stuck at a five-month high over the previous two weeks, pointing to some easing in the labor market.

Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims would decrease to 221,000 in the latest week. The Labor Department said no states were estimated last week.
The four-week moving average of initial claims, considered a better measure of labor market trends as it irons out week-to-week volatility, slipped 1,500 to 219,750 last week.
Employment gains have slowed this year, averaging 167,000 per month compared with an average monthly gain of 223,000 in 2018, in part because of a 16-month trade war between the United States and China, ebbing demand and a shortage of workers.
But the pace of hiring has been more than the roughly 100,000 jobs needed per month to keep up with growth in the working-age population. The unemployment rate is at 3.6%.
Thursday's claims report also showed the number of people receiving benefits after an initial week of aid fell 57,000 to 1.64 million for the week ended Nov. 16. The four-week moving average of the so-called continuing claims dropped 13,000 to 1.68 million.
The continuing claims data included the week the government surveyed households for November's unemployment rate. The four-week average of claims rose slightly between the October and November household survey periods, suggesting little change in the unemployment rate this month, even as consumers' perceptions of the labor market have become less upbeat.
