2. The warm wind of mergers and acquisitions policy is blowing, and the enthusiasm of listed companies to set up industrial funds is high

Since the beginning of this year, under the warm wind of mergers and acquisitions and restructuring policies, the enthusiasm of listed companies to participate in the establishment of industrial funds has been increasing. Since September alone, 19 listed companies have announced that they intend to participate in the establishment of new industrial funds. In addition, nearly 70 listed companies have issued announcements related to the establishment of industrial funds, covering the completion of industrial and commercial registration, fund filing, or other relevant progress.

At present, the asset management of securities companies is continuously optimizing the structure, improving the active management capabilities, and actively establishing the layout of "asset management sub + public offering sub", enriching the asset management product portfolio and realizing complementary advantages of products.

4. Demand is expected to improve in the fourth quarter, and pig prices may remain range-bound

After a short rebound, the future price of pig returned to decline recently, and the 2411 contract once touched a minimum of 16,635 yuan/ton, a new low since March this year. Industry participates said that the increase in pressure on the supply side, as well as the poor terminal demand during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day this year, have led to a weak spot price trend for live pigs in the near future.

Fund people believe that due to the impact of the previous market shocks, some investors take the operation of redemption to study and judge the market outlook, and it is expected that the follow-up index will maintain a strong trend of shocks, and the certainty of a long-term upward trend of A shares is strong, and it is recommended that investors change their investment thinking in a timely manner.

He also said that Qatar has been committed to mediating the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but the agreement requires the cooperation of both sides of the conflict. Qatar will continue its diplomatic efforts to end Israel's military operations in Palestine. In addition, the Qatar side also hopes to promote an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon and has engaged extensively with the Lebanon side.

3. Fed's Daly: The FOMC meeting was more heated than the voting results

Fed watchers note that there has been relatively little dissent in the Fed's official rate-setting vote during the rapid rate hikes over the past few years and the rate cuts that began last month. Fed's Daly said in a speech at NYU's Stern School of Business, but that doesn't mean there aren't heated debates at every FOMC meeting. Daly said the voting committee may disagree with a Fed decision, but they won't disagree if their disagreement doesn't rise to a firm disagreement. "Dissent is not the only sign of disagreement and controversy." She said.

4. Netherlands Rabobank: The euro is still likely to fall in the medium term

Jane Foley, s currency strategist at Netherlands Co-operative Bank, said in a note that while the European Central Bank may be cautious about future interest rate cuts at Thursday's meeting due to stubbornly high inflation in the services sector, the euro may appreciate in the short term, its short-term gains are unlikely to last. Regardless of who wins the United States presidential election in November, the euro is still likely to fall against the dollar in the medium term. Neither United States presidential candidate is aware of the need for budget consolidation, suggesting that United States' fiscal policy could exacerbate inflation. This could make the dollar's strength more durable.

5. Lebanon may be greylisted by the FATF due to poor anti-money laundering

Lebanon has been shut out of global debt markets and is expected to be placed on a "grey list" by regulators due to deficiencies in combating illicit financing. The Paris-based Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) is poised to greylist Lebanon as early as October 25, according to people familiar with the matter. No final decision has been made yet. Being greylisted will add obstacles to a country that defaulted on its debt for the first time in 2020, is battling high inflation and has been operating without a president at the helm. Lebanon is also battling Israel forces as Israel tries to reduce the threat posed by Hezbollah. A FATF spokesperson declined to comment, and the central bank of Lebanon did not respond to a request for comment.
