Guotai Junan: Policy optimization or help improve the long-term return of the expressway industry. Guotai Junan Research Report pointed out that location advantage determines the return of road production, and policy optimization or help improve the long-term return of the expressway industry. 1) Expressway is the preferred way to deliver high dividends. In the past three years, the A-share market favored high dividends, and the excess returns of expressways were remarkable. The dividend yield depends on the dividend rate and PE valuation level. Expressway is an infrastructure asset with heavy assets and stable returns, with rigid demand and stable cash flow, and the high dividend policy continues, which is in line with market preferences. 2) Resilience of industry operation: In 2023, the repressive demand was released and the performance increased. In the first half of 2024, the industry was under pressure due to the increase of rain and snow and free days. In the second half of 2024, or due to economic impact, the traffic volume and profit of some high-speed vehicles decreased slightly, the traffic demand remained resilient and the cash flow remained stable. 3) The pressure of reinvestment may be expected to improve the policy. Expressway toll prices have been stable for a long time, while the cost of newly built or renovated units has risen sharply, and there is widespread reinvestment pressure in the industry. In the future, the industry is expected to optimize policies, or improve the high-speed return of new construction or expansion to a reasonable level by extending the charging period. 4) Expressway REITs: generally, they are stock road products with excellent location and stable returns. In 2023, the system was under pressure, and in 2024, the expressway REITs with better profit than the industry were among the top gainers. The performance of underlying assets in the future will still be the key to dominate the performance of REITs.Yonhap News Agency: South Korea's defense intelligence commander was suspended.CICC: The non-agricultural data in November supported the Fed to continue to cut interest rates. The CICC research report pointed out that after being seriously hindered by hurricanes and strikes, the number of new jobs in the United States rose sharply to 227,000 in November, but the unemployment rate also rose to 4.2%, indicating that the labor market is slowing down. On the whole, the labor market is still in a state of "the momentum of employment growth is weakening, but the job market itself is not weak", which will provide reasons for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates again in December. However, we also predict that the Fed will slow down the pace of interest rate cuts in 2025, because as interest rates approach the neutral level, policymakers will become more cautious. One prediction risk is the impact of Trump's immigration policy on the labor market. At present, we tend to have a moderate impact, but we also need to pay close attention to the possibility of extreme situations. Based on non-agricultural data, we believe that the Fed is expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points again this month.

CICC interprets the meeting of the Politburo in December: the fiscal policy next year is expected to be significantly higher than this year. CICC issued a document saying that the tone of the Politburo in September will be continued, and this Politburo meeting will further inject confidence into the market, and there will be many new formulations in policy. From the perspective of policy objectives, the demand for growth is more clear, and the expression of "property market and stock market" is also very clear. From the policy direction, expanding domestic demand ranks first, and the tendency to boost consumption and improve people's livelihood is further highlighted. From the policy tone, monetary and fiscal policies are more active, and "extraordinary countercyclical adjustment" is put forward for the first time. In terms of specific policy prospects, we believe that the following aspects are worthy of attention: the intensity of fiscal policy next year is expected to be significantly higher than this year; The loose space of monetary policy may be opened through comprehensive policies, and the structural monetary policy may be significantly overweight; Expand domestic demand in an all-round way, and incremental measures may focus more on consumption; Further promote reform and opening up. Generally speaking, the policy mix is in line with what we judge as "tight credit, loose money and wide finance" in the second half of the financial cycle.According to documents released by the court, the suspect involved in the killing of the CEO of UNH insurance business was accused of illegal possession of a gun.Details of the arrest of the person involved in the killing of the CEO of the insurance giant in new york surfaced: Luigi Mangione, who was regarded by the new york police as the person involved in the murder of Brian Thompson, an executive of UnitedHealth Group Inc, was arrested in Pennsylvania on Monday, and now he is accused of possessing illegal firearms and using false identification.
