Core Viewpoint - Deutsche Bank suggests that if Hassett becomes the Federal Reserve Chair, his initial policy path may be more hawkish or neutral than expected, making large-scale monetary easing unlikely in the near term [1][5]. Group 1: Hassett's Potential Role - Hassett is seen as a "loyal" candidate to replace Powell, aligning with Trump's desire for a lower interest rate advocate within the Fed [2][3]. - Hassett's background includes a PhD in economics and experience at the Fed, making him qualified for the role [3]. Group 2: Challenges to Easing Policies - Hassett may face significant obstacles in implementing aggressive easing policies, including: - Difficulty in achieving internal consensus within the Fed [5]. - Economic fundamentals may not support rate cuts by mid-2026, as the economy is expected to grow steadily with limited downward risks in the labor market and inflation slightly above target [5][8]. - The Fed's committee is predominantly hawkish, making it challenging for Hassett to push for a clear easing stance [6][8]. Group 3: Market Implications - The report emphasizes that the anticipated "rate cut feast" may not materialize, and any policy adjustments will likely be gradual and restrained [9].

德银认为，人民币点心债市场正从一个边缘化的"小众市场"演变为一个具有重要配置价值的"主流资产"，一个历史性的发展机遇窗口已经打开。 据追风交易台，12月3日，德意志银行发布报告指出，这一转变由三大核心驱动力支撑： 总而言之，点心债市场正在进入一个"发行扩大-流动性增强-吸引更多投资者-鼓励更多发行"的良性循环。投资者应密切关注这一市场的扩容，将 其视为全球资产配置中一个愈发重要的组成部分。 发行井喷：市场规模与参与主体双重扩张 需求之谜：从投机驱动到交易驱动的坚实基础 历史上，投资者需求不足是限制点心债市场发展的主要瓶颈。2010年代初期的繁荣与人民币升值预期高度绑定，当2015年人民币开始贬值时，市 场迅速萎缩，发行量在2017年骤降至不足500亿元人民币，仅为2014年峰值的六分之一。 点心债市场的增长势头惊人。报告数据显示，以人民币计价、在香港发行的点心债，其年度发行量已从2021年的3000亿元人民币，激增至2024年 的8500亿元人民币，预计今年（2025年）将达到9000亿至1万亿元人民币的规模。目前，市场存量规模已达1.8万亿元人民币。 驱动发行的核心动力是人民币作为融资货币的强大吸引力。较低 ...

Core Insights - Ethereum is executing a critical network upgrade named "Fusaka," aimed at significantly enhancing data capacity and optimizing protocol efficiency to further reduce Layer-2 transaction costs and solidify its position as a global settlement layer [1][2]. Group 1: Upgrade Details - The Fusaka upgrade was activated at block height 13,164,544, marking a new step in Ethereum's scalability roadmap following previous upgrades Dencun and Pectra [1]. - The core change in this upgrade is the introduction of "PeerDAS" (Peer Data Availability Sampling), which theoretically increases Layer-2 network data capacity by 8 times, leading to higher transaction throughput and significantly lower transaction fees for Layer-2 users [2][3]. - Fusaka also includes the "Blob Parameter Only" (BPO) fork mechanism, enhancing future network capacity flexibility, and optimizes Layer-1 mainnet performance through features like storage expiration and block control [3][4]. Group 2: Strategic Focus - The upgrade aligns with the Ethereum Foundation's strategic priorities established for April 2025, focusing on expanding the Ethereum mainnet, enhancing Blobs, and improving user experience [5]. - The design philosophy of Ethereum emphasizes scalability through Layer-2 solutions, addressing the "blockchain trilemma" by offloading most transaction processing to Layer-2 networks while maintaining decentralization and security [6]. Group 3: Key Features of PeerDAS - PeerDAS fundamentally changes the data availability model by allowing nodes to download only a fraction (approximately 1/8) of the total data, ensuring the entire dataset's availability and integrity through cryptographic methods [7]. - This mechanism significantly reduces resource requirements for individual nodes, theoretically increasing data capacity by about 8 times, which is crucial for lowering Layer-2 transaction costs [7]. Group 4: BPO Fork and Fee Mechanism - The BPO fork mechanism allows for more frequent and controlled updates to Blob-related parameters, enabling gradual increases in data capacity without the need for major upgrades [9]. - The introduction of a "base price" mechanism for Blob fees, linked dynamically to execution gas fees, aims to stabilize the fee market and ensure that Blob space reflects its economic value [10].

Core Insights - Ethereum is executing a critical network upgrade named "Fusaka," aimed at significantly enhancing data capacity and optimizing protocol efficiency to lower Layer-2 transaction costs and solidify its position as a global settlement layer [1][2] - The Fusaka upgrade is scheduled to be activated on December 3, 2025, at block height 13,164,544, following the Dencun and Pectra upgrades [1] - The upgrade introduces "PeerDAS" technology, which theoretically increases Layer-2 network data capacity by 8 times, thereby improving transaction throughput and reducing user transaction fees [3][7] Upgrade Details - The Fusaka upgrade synchronously activates the consensus layer "Fulu" and execution layer "Osaka," focusing on three main areas: enhancing Layer-2 data capacity, optimizing fee mechanisms, and improving user experience [4][6] - Key features of the upgrade include the introduction of the "only Blob parameters" (BPO) fork mechanism for flexible future capacity increases, and optimizations for Layer-1 performance through features like storage expiration and block control [3][6] Layer-2 Focus - Ethereum's design philosophy prioritizes decentralization and security at Layer-1, leading to high transaction fees and slow confirmation times as demand for decentralized applications grows [5] - The "Rollup-centric" roadmap shifts most transaction processing to Layer-2 networks, allowing for off-chain execution and compressed data publication back to Layer-1 for final settlement [5] PeerDAS Technology - PeerDAS addresses data availability issues by allowing nodes to download only a fraction (approximately 1/8) of the total data, significantly reducing resource requirements and enabling an estimated 8-fold increase in data capacity [7] BPO Fork Mechanism - The BPO fork mechanism allows for lightweight updates to Blob-related parameters, enabling more frequent and safer deployments to gradually increase data capacity without major upgrades [10] Fee Market Stability - The introduction of a "base price" mechanism for Blob fees aims to ensure that fees reflect economic value and maintain market sensitivity to network congestion, providing a more stable pricing environment for Layer-2 [11]

Group 1: Bullish Factors - The bullish sentiment for the U.S. stock market in 2026 is primarily driven by the AI boom and significant stimulus measures, with the "Tech Seven" expected to contribute approximately $600 billion in capital expenditures to the U.S. economy [1] - Additional supportive factors for the bullish outlook include the end of quantitative tightening (QT), ongoing fiscal deficits, $1.2 trillion in stock buyback authorizations for 2026, retail investors' continued "buying the dip" behavior, and potential regulatory relaxations in the banking sector [2] Group 2: Bearish Risks - Concerns are growing regarding high stock valuations, which leave little room for error, and the market's increasing dependence on the AI theme, leading to one of the narrowest market breadths in the past two decades [1][3] - The emergence of a "K-shaped economy" is highlighted, where economic recovery is uneven, with financial stress among certain consumer groups and rising default rates among low-income households [3] - The phenomenon of "AI circularity" indicates that the prosperity in the AI sector is increasingly financed through leverage, raising concerns about sustainability [3] Group 3: Market Psychology - A unique risk identified is the lack of "muscle memory" among traders, as the unprecedented bull market over the past 15 years has led many to only experience rising markets, fostering a belief in perpetual support and the effectiveness of "buying the dip" strategies [4] - The potential for a significant market adjustment could favor more experienced investors who have previously navigated bear market cycles [4]
