"We are seeing some changes in the economic sphere," Lagarde said in Frankfurt on Thursday. "If we focus on the factors driving economic growth and those unexpected upside drivers, AI-related investments are a prime example."

Lagarde added that this growth stems not only from public sector spending but also from significant private sector investment.

However, she also emphasized that it will take time to determine whether this impact is sustainable.

[Guotai Haitong Securities: Rise of Emotional Consumption Drives Rapid Growth in IP Fun Products Industry] Guotai Haitong Securities released a research report pointing out that with the rise of emotional consumption, the IP fun product industry is showing rapid growth. IP fun food is a fusion of "IP + food + IP gifts," covering various categories such as collectible cards, stickers, badges, figurines, and edible toys. As an efficient vehicle for IP monetization, IP fun food can provide entertainment experiences through IP stories and collection mechanisms, satisfying consumers' emotional needs for "self-indulgent consumption." Currently, the scale of China's IP food industry is expanding rapidly, with two core driving factors: 1) On the demand side, the younger generation grew up in an era of material abundance and open information, and their demand for emotional consumption continues to rise. IPs, through stories and images, build emotional connections, which can meet consumers' multi-level needs in terms of identity recognition, emotional companionship, and aesthetic resonance; 2) On the supply side, China is the world's largest snack consumption market, with a highly mature snack production and supply chain. In recent years, benefiting from the rise of mass-market channels, the IP fun product sector, which combines IP gifts with snacks, has developed rapidly.

[The pound's relief rally following the Bank of England's decision may be short-lived] ING analysts said in a report that the pound's relief rally following the Bank of England's narrow 5-4 vote to cut interest rates on Thursday may be short-lived. They stated that the euro should remain above 0.87 against the pound, given the possibility of two more rate cuts by the Bank of England next year. "We see no reason to change our forecast that the euro will rise moderately towards 0.90 by the end of 2026, with some additional upside risks around the UK local elections in May," they said. However, they added that the pound could rise against a weaker dollar, reaching $1.35 by the end of the year and $1.36 in 2026.

[Deutsche Bank: ECB May Need to Consider Rate Cuts or Hikes in 2026] Mark Wall of Deutsche Bank stated in a report that the European Central Bank's current policy of maintaining interest rates unchanged will face a "watchful test" in 2026 given the uncertain inflation outlook. He said that overall inflation is expected to be below 2% in both 2026 and 2027, but core inflation will be more sticky. The chief European economist is considering what might happen if overall inflation falls further below target, or if inflation expectations "de-anchor" from 2% and imply overshooting. He said, "Would this open the door to further policy easing?" "Or, would the improving growth outlook driven by domestic demand, along with a stronger outlook for services inflation, mean a more confident wait-and-see approach?" He said that rate hikes are not on the agenda, at least not at present.

[Bank of England Hints at Low Short-Term Inflation Risks, Higher Medium-Term] Joaquin Thul of EFG Asset Management stated in a report that the Bank of England's policy guidance indicates that UK inflation is expected to continue declining in the coming months, but may rebound in the medium term.

The Bank of England cut interest rates by 25 basis points to 3.75% on Thursday by a narrow 5-4 vote.

[ING: ECB's "Good Position" Appears to Be Correct] Carsten Brzeski of ING stated in a report that the European Central Bank (ECB) is unlikely to change its current policy stance in the near term. He noted that interest rates have remained unchanged for over six months, suggesting that a significant decline in inflation or growth is needed before the ECB begins to cut rates. "Inflation forecasts, in particular, provide further evidence that the ECB's current 'good position' is indeed correct." The bank slightly raised its 2026 inflation forecast to 1.9% due to a slower-than-expected decline in services inflation. "Given that inflation is expected to be at or slightly below 2%, while economic growth is projected to be near its potential level, there is no reason for the ECB to change its policy stance in the near term."

Redfin stated that homebuyers are hesitant this holiday season due to persistently high mortgage rates above 6% and rising home prices, deterring many potential buyers. Weak demand is also causing potential sellers to remain on the sidelines. New listings fell 3.1% year-over-year, the largest drop in over two years.

Taking medical models as an example, the amount of data used for model training in China is less than 10% of that in leading Western countries. Furthermore, a large amount of urban and enterprise data remains in "isolated" storage, with a data sharing rate of less than 25%. He offered three suggestions: at the city level, cities should leverage their hub functions to build advanced data storage centers; at the industry level, data sharing and collaboration platforms need to be built to promote data from decentralized applications to intelligent integration, empowering the industrial ecosystem with high-quality industry knowledge bases; at the enterprise level, efforts should be made to help build an AI data lake foundation, strengthen the full-domain data sharing mechanism, and improve data management efficiency and application flexibility.

In its Quarterly Resources and Energy Report, the Australian government projected total raw material exports of A$383 billion (approximately US$253 billion) for the fiscal year ending June 2026, nearly 4% higher than the forecast three months prior.

Apple Announces Significant Reduction of "Apple Tax" in Japan, Opens Third-Party App Stores and Payment Channels for iPhones! Experts: China is Treated Differently, with Commission Rates Higher Than in the US, EU, Japan, and South Korea. On December 17th, Apple announced on its official website that, in order to comply with Japan's "Specific Smartphone Software Competition Promotion Law," it has opened third-party app stores and external payment channels for iPhones in the Japanese market. This marks Japan as the first Asian country to break Apple's dual monopoly on in-app purchases (IAP) and app distribution through the App Store. Previously, Apple had requested the opening of third-party payments and a reduction in fees based on relevant South Korean regulations, but did not allow services such as third-party app store downloads. Currently, among Apple's four core global markets (the US, EU, China, and Japan), only China remains subject to Apple's dual monopoly; furthermore, China remains one of the countries with the highest commission rates for Apple's in-app transactions globally.
