1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overseas macro - environment in 2026 continues to warm up.

The "broad fiscal + broad monetary" policy in the US promotes economic prosperity. The ECB maintained interest rates unchanged in December and raised GDP forecasts for this year and next.

Macro Strategy - The report highlights that the overseas market during the National Day holiday was dominated by two major events: the U.S. government shutdown and the unexpected election of Kishi Nobuo as the president of the Liberal Democratic Party in Japan.

This, combined with expectations of "loose fiscal and monetary" policies in Japan, drove gold and Bitcoin to new historical highs [1][6]. - Looking ahead, the report suggests that the global political rightward shift, along with loose fiscal and monetary trends, indicates greater uncertainty from geopolitical friction and unsustainable global government debt.
