Domestic economic signs show warming trends
The latest data released by the statistical department indicate that the CPI for the full year of 2025 is expected to remain flat compared to the previous year, but the 0.8% year-on-year increase in December's CPI and the continued expansion of the growth rate are worth noting. Meanwhile, the stock market performed remarkably— the Shanghai Composite Index once again surpassed 4100 points after ten years, recording 16 consecutive days of gains, with the combined trading volume of the two markets exceeding 3 trillion yuan, reflecting a clear boost in market sentiment.
On the other hand, there are new changes in the banking wealth management market. Some banks' short-term large-denomination deposit rates have entered the "0" range, making them almost indistinguishable from regular fixed-term deposits. Industry insiders believe this downward trend may continue, gradually reducing the attractiveness for depositors.
Key policy adjustments keep emerging
As January begins, policy adjustments are ongoing. The healthcare insurance department and the Ministry of Finance jointly announced that the scope of the employee medical insurance personal account pooling has expanded from within provinces to nationwide. This reform will benefit a broad range of insured individuals.

Southern California is experiencing heavy rainfall brought by "atmospheric rivers," leading to evacuations in many parts of Los Angeles County and increased risk of flash floods.

Officials warn that the area faces long-term hazards in the coming years.

According to analysis by Arkham, an on-chain monitoring organization, the hacker wallets related to Mentougou have experienced significant activity in the past week. The address associated with Aleksey Bilyuchenko transferred 1,300 BTC to an unknown trading platform. Based on the current Bitcoin price of $91.45K, this transfer involves approximately $119 million.
Notably, after this transfer, the hacker entity still controls a large position of 4,100 BTC, which is valued at about $375 million at the latest prices. This indicates that the risk of further selling pressure remains.
From historical activity, this series of addresses has already sold a total of 2,300 BTC. The recent transfer of 1,300 BTC to a trading platform suggests that there may be further liquidity release in the short term. The market is widely watching the hacker's next moves, as a large

Did you know? The Australian dollar is the fifth most traded currency globally (after USD, EUR, JPY, GBP), and the "AUD/USD" currency pair ranks fifth in trading activity worldwide. Its liquidity and low spreads make it relatively efficient for both short-term trading and medium- to long-term positioning.
But why has the Australian dollar been sinking more and more over the past decade?
Why did the once high-yield darling become a "chicken rib"?
The AUD is a typical "commodity currency"—Australia's economy is highly dependent on exports of iron ore, coal, copper, and other bulk commodities. Fluctuations in global raw material prices often cause sharp changes in the AUD exchange rate. As a high-yield currency, it was once favored for carry trades.
But reality is harsh. If we start from the 1.05 level in early 2013, over the past ten years (2013-2023), the AUD/USD has depreciated by more than 35%, while the US dollar index (DXY) has risen by 28.35%. The euro, yen, and CAD also

When the stock market crashes, trading suddenly halts — this is the circuit breaker mechanism in action. As one of the most important financial markets in the world, the trading rules of the US stock market have reference significance for global investors. This article will analyze the origin, operation principles, and real impact of this mechanism from its practical functioning.
Core Principles of the Circuit Breaker
The term "Circuit Breaker" borrows from physics — when a circuit malfunctions and current overloads, the circuit breaker immediately cuts off the power to protect the system. The US stock market adopts this concept to design its own risk protection mechanism.
In actual trading, the circuit breaker mechanism means that when the S&P 500 index drops more than a set threshold within a single day, the exchange will proactively pause market trading. This pause is not indefinite but provides investors with a cooling-off period — allowing everyone to stop and reassess the situation rather than acting on panic-driven impulses.

What is high-frequency trading?
High-frequency trading (abbreviated as HFT) is a trading strategy that uses computers to enter and exit the market within milliseconds or even microseconds. Compared to traditional investing, the core features of high-frequency trading are extremely fast transaction speeds and very short holding times. Traders profit by capturing tiny price fluctuations in the market.
In the days before computer technology became widespread, a few highly responsive traders could manually perform "manual high-frequency" operations. However, with technological advancements, human reaction speeds can no longer compete with algorithms. Today, market makers and other institutions use high-speed computers to execute large volumes of orders in extremely short periods, while dynamically adjusting quotes, managing risks, and maintaining market liquidity.
The history of high-frequency trading is closely linked to the evolution of electronic trading systems. From the initial need to personally go to the trading floor to buy and sell, to electronic...

December 3rd, GBP/USD exchange rate rose by 1.08% due to a weakening dollar, closing at 1.3350, the highest in nearly a month. The UK budget plan alleviates debt risks, providing a basis for a short-term rebound, but in the long term, the pound remains under pressure due to unresolved structural issues. Institutions expect the pound to depreciate against the euro. Investors should be alert to potential downside pressures in the future.

Whether you're preparing for a trip to Japan or doing hedging strategies, the attractiveness of exchanging for Yen has indeed increased. But is this the right time to act? The answer is: yes, but in installments.
Currently, the Yen is in a fluctuation zone. The US entering a rate-cut cycle supports the Yen, while the Bank of Japan Governor Ueda Kazuo recently signaled a hawkish stance.

USD/JPY has fallen from 160 at the start of the year to 154.58, and in the short term, it may oscillate back to 155, but the medium to long-term outlook is below 150.
For investors, the Yen, as one of the world's three major safe-haven currencies (alongside the US dollar and Swiss franc), is particularly...
