On January 23, Ukrainian President Zelensky said on the 21st that if a ceasefire agreement is reached with Russia, at least 200,000 European peacekeepers will be needed "to prevent Russia from launching new attacks." The Ukrainian leader reportedly spoke at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, urging European leaders to take more measures to defend the European continent. Zelensky was interviewed after his speech. When asked about his thoughts on the peacekeeping force, he said: "200,000 peacekeepers from European countries will be the minimum number required, otherwise it will be meaningless." Zelensky said Ukraine would not agree to Russias request to significantly reduce the size of its army, and predicted that Russian President Putin would ask Ukraine to reduce the size of its armed forces to one-fifth of the current size.Egyptian President Sisi: The country needs $20 billion every year to secure oil products.ECB board member Nagel: Imposing tariffs on all countries is not a good idea.Hang Seng Index futures closed up 0.39% at 19,924 points in the night session, 145 points higher.On January 23, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink said that investors were too quick to conclude that high inflation was over, increasing the likelihood that bond yields will rise in the future as prices rise. "The biggest risk facing the world today is that the whole world believes that the peak of inflation has passed," Fink told Bloomberg on Wednesday while attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, saying that his views were at odds with the views expressed by market forces. "I really think we will face a situation of high inflation." When talking about artificial intelligence investment, Fink said that building data centers requires a lot of funds from the private sector. BlackRock is teaming up with Microsoft and others to raise a $30 billion fund, and Fink said that the private market needs to pay special attention to how data centers are powered. "In the short term, lets be clear that it will be powered primarily by natural gas, natural gas in the United States," Fink said, adding that electricity demand should trigger discussions about the future role of nuclear energy.
