Having made all reasonable enquiries regarding the Companys circumstances, the Board confirms that it is not aware of (i) any reasons for such fluctuations in the price and volume of the Companys shares, (ii) any information that needs to be announced to avoid creating a false market in the Companys securities, or (iii) any inside information that needs to be disclosed under Part XIVA of the Securities and Futures Ordinance. The Board also confirms that the Groups business operations are normal, and there have been no material changes in the Groups business operations and financial position.On October 24, Julien Lafargue, chief market strategist at Barclays Private Bank, pointed out: "From the perspective of market impact, unless there is a significant upward surprise in the US inflation data, the market is unlikely to change its expectations for further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve." In addition to the frequent fluctuations in the trade war, the market has recently been boosted by a strong corporate earnings season. According to data tracked by the Atlanta Federal Reserve, before the government shutdown, the US GDP growth rate in the third quarter was close to 4%, showing that the economy still has amazing resilience. Although it is not easy to shake this optimistic narrative, if there is an unexpected CPI, it may be the trigger point. Stephanie Link, chief investment strategist at Hightower Advisors, said: "If the CPI data is higher than expected, I expect market volatility to increase. However, I will regard this as a buying opportunity because the current economy is still strong, the Federal Reserve has started a cycle of interest rate cuts, corporate profits are growing at a double-digit rate, and the fourth quarter has always been the strongest quarter of the year."On October 24, Zhongke Environmental Protection announced that its third-quarter revenue was 424 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.39%, and its net profit was 102 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 2.35%. For the first three quarters, its revenue was 1.272 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 6.06%, and its net profit was 298 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 13.21%.

NZD/USD Price Analysis: Protects NZ Inflation-Induced Support Break; 0.6140 in Sight

During the mid-Asian session on Thursday, NZD/USD bears maintain control at the lowest levels in five weeks while defending New Zealand (NZ) losses caused by inflation near 0.6160. This justifies not only the weaker-than-anticipated New Zealand inflation, but also the recent break of one-month-old horizontal support, which is now immediate resistance, as well as the bearish MACD signals.

 

As measured by the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) policy purists were unpleasantly surprised by New Zealand's (NZ) first-quarter (Q1) inflation. Despite this, the Quarter-over-Quarter change in the New Zealand Consumer Price Index (CPI) decreases from 1.7% and 1.4%, respectively, to 1.2%.

 

Following the publication of disappointing data, the NZD/USD pair breached a one-month-old horizontal support level, which is now acting as a barrier near 0.6170. The bearish MACD signals are now directing NZD/USD traders toward a horizontal support level that has been in place for 1.5 months and is located near 0.6140.

 

If the NZD/USD bears remain dominant above 0.6140, the 2023 low of 0.6085 cannot be ruled out.

 

The 200-day simple moving average hurdle of 0.6220 becomes crucial for NZD/USD investors to return.

 

If the NZD/USD pair remains above 0.6220, a run up to the previous weekly high around 0.6315 and then to the monthly high of 0.6386 cannot be ruled out.
