Guangzhou Mayor Sun Zhiyang delivered the government work report. The report proposed that in 2026, Guangzhou will strengthen basic livelihood security, develop industry-specific and regional enterprise annuities, and explore a shared development model for talent annuities. It will also optimize the supply system of affordable housing, raising funds to construct 30,000 units (households) of affordable housing.On January 19th, five departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Carrying Out the Construction of Zero-Carbon Factories." The "Guiding Opinions" propose accelerating the green and low-carbon transformation of energy consumption structures to achieve carbon reduction at the source. Under the premise of ensuring a secure energy supply, factories are encouraged to achieve zero-carbon electricity, heat, hydrogen, and fuel supply. They are also encouraged to develop and utilize distributed photovoltaic, distributed wind power, and biomass power generation according to local conditions, explore direct green electricity connections, and increase the proportion of renewable energy use. Factories with suitable conditions are encouraged to build industrial green microgrids, integrating photovoltaic, wind power, waste heat recovery, and new energy storage and high-efficiency heat pumps to achieve multi-energy efficient complementary utilization. The "Guiding Opinions" also encourage the active development of integrated green hydrogen, ammonia, and methanol projects, and promote the application of clean and low-carbon hydrogen, such as industrial by-product hydrogen and hydrogen produced from renewable energy.January 19th - The State Council Information Office will hold a press conference at 3:00 PM on Tuesday, January 20th, 2026, where Vice Minister of Finance Liao Min will introduce the relevant situation regarding leveraging the role of proactive fiscal policy to promote high-quality economic and social development, and answer questions from reporters.On January 19th, five departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Carrying Out the Construction of Zero-Carbon Factories."

The NZD/USD exchange rate is under pressure as investors anticipate crucial US developments

Beginning with a high of 0.6411 and a low of 0.6382, the NZD/USD exchange rate is down 0.25 percent, sliding from its previous high of 0.6411 to its previous low of 0.6382. To date, though, it has been the best-performing G10 currency month.

 

ANZ Bank analysts commented, "NZD seasonality is normally positive in December, but while it has that plus rising interest rates on its side, there are no guarantees that it will emerge undamaged from this week's several central bank meetings."

 

The Federal Open Market Committee is due to meet this week, and market participants anticipate a hawkish result. The US producer price index for November was somewhat higher than anticipated, bolstering the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in the future, albeit at a slower rate.

 

TD Securities analysts estimate that the FOMC will raise rates by 50 basis points at its meeting in December, putting the target range for the Fed funds rate to 4.25 percent to 4.50 percent. "By doing so, the Committee's inflation-adjusted monetary policy stance would move into the restrictive zone. In September, we think that the FOMC will indicate that they will have to shift to a higher-than-expected terminal rate.

 

ANZ Bank analysts stated, "Our key concern is what this may do to the USD, which has been under pressure as the "pivot" narrative has gained traction amid signs of ongoing US inflation."

 

"NZ variables will also play a role, with the HYEFU and GDP due this week," but they are likely to be overwhelmed (again!) by volatility and the global climate.

 

In other news, the US consumer inflation report on Tuesday will set the tone for markets prior to the Federal Reserve meeting. Economists forecast a fall in core inflation to 6.1% in November from 6.3% in October.
