  "account": "The German stock market is uncertain ahead of the US midterm elections, with the Dax index falling 0.9% to 25,753 points. The elections, taking place on Wednesday, will see all 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 35 of 100 Senate seats up for grabs. Current polls suggest a close contest, with the Democrats likely to regain control of the House but the Senate outcome uncertain. The results could have significant implications for global geopolitics and the economy. Meanwhile, oil prices are rising, with Brent crude up 1.6% to $106.39 per barrel and WTI up 1.4% to $97.82 per barrel.",
  "summary": "At night, the world is looking at the US elections. Investors are holding back in the run-up. Can further quarterly figures provide positive impulses?",
