Wells Fargo: Reduce the target price of Dow Chemical from $60 to $55, and maintain the "overweight" rating.Japanese manufacturers' confidence index turned negative to the central bank's forecast in December. A short-term survey in Reuters, Japan, found that Japanese manufacturers' business confidence deteriorated further in December due to concerns about US protectionist policies. The survey of 505 large Japanese non-financial enterprises showed that manufacturers' confidence index fell from 5 in November to -1 in December, which was the first time since last February, and the number of pessimists exceeded optimists for the first time in 10 months. The loss of business confidence may cast a shadow over the Bank of Japan's forecast. The Bank of Japan had previously predicted that a steady recovery driven by rising wages and consumption would help inflation reach the 2% target in a sustainable way and justify further interest rate hikes. Many manufacturing industries have reported that business confidence has declined. Among electronic machinery manufacturers, steel and non-ferrous metal manufacturers, pessimists far exceed optimists.Henan: Users with large electricity consumption are encouraged to configure efficient and flexible energy storage systems to realize peak load shedding and valley filling.

Jin Guanping, Economic Daily: Implement more active and promising macro policies. The article points out that the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee held a meeting on December 9 to analyze and study the economic work in 2025, and put forward "implement more active and promising macro policies" and "strengthen unconventional countercyclical adjustment" in view of the macro policy orientation next year, and clearly implement more active fiscal policies and moderately loose monetary policies. This important deployment has released a clear signal of strengthening macro-control and strong and steady growth. Implementing a "more active" fiscal policy means increasing fiscal countercyclical adjustment and improving the effectiveness of fiscal policy while maintaining policy stability and continuity. "Moderately loose" means that monetary policy will better reflect the supportive stance and orientation, maintain a reasonable and sufficient liquidity, and further reduce the comprehensive financing costs of enterprises and residents.The second meeting of the Global Foreign Exchange Market Committee in 2024 was successfully held.

Goldman Sachs said that we don't agree with the view that the price of gold can't rise to $3,000 per ounce by the end of 2025 when the dollar remains strong for a long time. We predict that gold will reach $3,000 per ounce by the end of 2025, and the reduction of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (rather than the strengthening of the US dollar) is the downside risk of this prediction.

Two sources said that during his first meeting with Trump after the US election, Ukrainian President Zelensky emphasized that Ukraine needed security in any negotiations with Russia to end the conflict. French President Macron presided over the meeting in Paris. The three leaders talked for 35 minutes without a consultant, and did not discuss any specific details of the vision of peace, but four people familiar with the matter said that Trump reiterated his hope for an immediate ceasefire and a rapid end to the war through negotiations. One of the sources said that Trump was friendly, respectful and open, and seemed to be listening. A source said: "Some key points were mentioned during the meeting. For example, some people said that peace needs to be guaranteed, because a ceasefire alone is not enough. Putin may break the ceasefire again without proper guarantee as before." The source said that Trump "he is considering all the details." Several officials close to Trump said that Trump's direct contacts with Zelensky were generally cordial, which was different from some of his previous public statements, including calling Zelensky "the greatest salesman on earth" because he requested and accepted billions of dollars in US military assistance.
