On January 13, the Goldman Sachs research team said in a report that Goldman Sachs maintained its generally bullish outlook for the U.S. dollar against Asian currencies, partly due to a stronger outlook for the U.S. dollar this year. Taking into account the foreign exchange trends in December and the revision of the Feds rate cut forecast by Goldman Sachs economists after the release of the strong non-farm payrolls report last Friday, Goldman Sachs updated its dollar/Asian foreign exchange forecast, raising the forecast for the U.S. dollar/yen from 155 to 160 in the next three months, from 157 to 161 in the next six months, and from 159 to 162 in the next 12 months. Goldman Sachs also raised its forecasts for some other U.S. dollar/Asian foreign exchange, such as the U.S. dollar against the Singapore dollar from 1.3600 to 1.3900 in the next three months, from 1.3800 to 1.4000 in the next six months, and from 1.3800 to 1.4100 in the next 12 months.On January 13, the markets expectations for the Federal Reserves rate cuts this year have cooled, and Hong Kong real estate stocks were under pressure today. The MTR Corporation (00066.HK) was last reported at HK$24.1, down 4.4%. HSBC Global Research published a report saying that it downgraded the rating of MTR from "buy" to "hold" and lowered the target price from HK$34.6 to HK$27, which is equivalent to widening the discount to its net asset value per share forecast (HK$32.1) to 16%. The bank said that although the recurring business of MTR continued to improve, the bank believed that the rising capital expenditure cycle may have the risk of lowering profitability. The bank regards MTR as a defensive share in its industry, but the recent catalysts are limited. Taking into account the increase in financing costs and lower rental forecasts, the bank lowered its profit forecast for 2024 to 2026 by 2% to 7.5%.According to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA): Irans Foreign Minister said that Iran will adjust its relations with any Syrian government chosen by the Syrian people.SpaceXs competitor Blue Origin live-streamed the maiden flight of its New Glenn heavy-lift rocket on the social media platform "X", and Musk wished it good luck.On January 13, Lian Ping, chief economist of Guangkai Industrial Research Institute, pointed out that moderately loose monetary policy in 2025 will nourish the financial market, and the deposit reserve ratio is expected to be lowered by about 1 percentage point throughout the year; the policy interest rate is expected to be lowered by 0.4-0.5 percentage points, and the LPR is further reduced by 0.3-0.6 percentage points.
