It is expected that there will be a positive but moderate growth next year. According to the report of the World Gold Council, the price of gold is expected to hit its best annual performance in more than 10 years, with an increase of 28% as of November.

On the contrary, higher long-term interest rates or weak demand for gold consumption may bring headwinds. 

Guotai Junan: The long-term incremental "option" brought by humanoid robots is expected to help the valuation of the rare earth sector rise. When looking forward to the strategy of the rare earth sector in 2025, Guotai Junan said that the market had expected that with the slowdown in the growth of core demand power such as new energy vehicles and wind power in the future, the demand for rare earth markets is under downward pressure. However, we expect that the rising consumption of magnetic materials for new energy vehicles and the warming demand for wind power are still expected to support the basic demand growth, and the demand for equipment renewal that began to land in 2024 is expected to become a new driving force for rare earth demand. On the supply side, an orderly pattern of domestic supply has been established, with many overseas planning increments but slow actual volume, and continuous supply-side constraints. In addition, the long-term incremental "options" brought by humanoid robots are also expected to help the valuation of the plate rise.The New Zealand dollar just broke through the 0.5800 mark against the US dollar, and the latest report was 0.5801, up 0.29% in the day; The Australian dollar just broke through the 0.6400 mark against the US dollar, and the latest report was 0.6401, up 0.51% in the day.Zhonggong Education: Director Yi Ziting resigned due to retirement.

On December 11, the Beijing Municipal Finance Bureau announced in the evening that it planned to issue the eleventh batch of local bonds in 2024 on December 18, in which Beijing local government refinancing special bonds (38), (40) and (42) were used to replace the existing hidden debt, totaling 4.7 billion yuan, which will be held in December. So far, the distribution of the implicit debt quota of 2 trillion yuan replacement stock this year has all been announced. In some areas, a three-year special debt limit for local governments to replace hidden debts in stock has been issued at one time, and it is planned to be implemented in three years.
