Zinc Morning meeting: macroscopic: British Prime Minister Johnson's Brexit process was thwarted and the House of Commons decided to postpone the vote on the Brexit agreement, forcing Johnson to formally ask the European Union to postpone the Brexit date until January 31 next year. Johnson said the further extension was wrong and on Monday would again ask the House of Commons to vote for his Brexit deal. With the silence ahead of the Fed's policy meeting in late October, Vice Chairman Clarida left room for the possibility of a third consecutive rate cut, saying the risks remained "significant". The market was then expected to cut interest rates in October with little suspense; Mr Yi said the current renminbi exchange rate was at an "appropriate" level. Monday ushered in the people's Bank of China LPR monthly adjustment window, this week TMLF operation or reappearance.
