Jefferies lowered its net profit forecasts for Lao Pu Gold for 2025, 2026, and 2027 by 14%, 6%, and 12% respectively, to reflect lower gross margins due to high gold prices and a return to normal growth in 2027. The bank lowered its target price for Lao Pu Gold from HKD 1,103 to HKD 981, corresponding to projected P/E ratios of 22x and 17x for 2026 and 2027 respectively. Despite profit margin pressures, Jefferies expects Lao Pu Gold to recover this year and reiterated its buy rating.

The abstract shows that this application relates to the field of vehicle control technology. The method includes: collecting multiple modalities of biosignals from the driver, which are acquired by a brain-computer interface device in the vehicle; recognizing the drivers current intention based on the multiple modalities of biosignals, and using a preset digital twin model to perceive the environmental state and predict the drivers target driving behavior; determining the drivers target intention based on the drivers current intention and target driving behavior; and controlling the vehicle based on the drivers target intention and the environmental state. This solves the problem of relatively limited application scenarios and insufficient functional expansion of the integration of brain-computer interfaces with automobiles, increasing driver comfort, improving operational efficiency, shortening response time, enhancing intention recognition capabilities in complex scenarios such as high speeds, and expanding immersive interaction.Market sources say XPeng Motors (09868.HK) is hiring banks to conduct an initial public offering (IPO) in Hong Kong for its flying car division.January 12th - A London employment monitoring report from Morgan McKinley, a leading UK recruitment firm, shows that due to uncertainty surrounding the UK budget and global markets, companies in the City of London scaled back hiring in the fourth quarter of 2025, with job vacancies falling by 13% compared to the previous quarter. However, demand for specific skills-based positions remains strong. Talent is most scarce in the technology and compliance delivery sectors as financial institutions seek to deploy artificial intelligence. Mark Astbury, Director at Morgan McKinley, stated that despite the slowdown in quarterly data, the overall job market remains resilient. However, he also pointed out that policy changes such as the National Insurance rate increase are weakening employer confidence.Reliance Industries: The company’s plan to build a battery energy storage manufacturing ecosystem, from cells to containerized energy storage systems, remains unchanged.

what is fundamental anaylsis?

Fundamental analysis is conducted mainly through analysing economic, social, and political factors that influence the market demand and supply. Investors who rely on fundamental analysis must find out the various factors that affect the economy, such as those that will boost the economy to grow rapidly, and those that will drive it down.

This method of analysis is based on the assumption that a country's currency will be strong when its economic outlook is good. The reason is that the better a country's economic conditions, the more foreign companies and investors will be willing to invest in the country, and they need to buy a large amount of local currency to acquire assets.

Application of  fundamental anaylsis?

A variety of fundamental changes will influence currency pairs. Out of these changes, interest rate expectations tend to have the biggest impact on the strength of a country's currency, and investors can trade accordingly.

If a country's released inflation data keeps surpassing the central bank's target, the central bank will influence the local currency according to its own inflation target by raising or lowering interest rates.


Usually, the central bank will raise interest rates to reduce the amount of money in circulation and curb inflation. If the central bank wishes to increase the amount of money in circulation, it may do so by lowering interest rates. Generally, as the difference between a high-interest currency with a low-interest currency widens, hot money will tend to flow into the high-interest money market, driving the demand for money higher. This is one of the reasons for the rise in medium-term and long-term exchange rates, and investors may capture these opportunities to
