Pimco and Fidelity believe that the economic outlook in the euro zone is weak, and the European Central Bank has cut interest rates by more than market expectations. Investors such as Pimco and Fidelity International believe that the economic outlook in Europe is bleak, which may force policymakers to cut interest rates by more than market expectations. The latest market pricing shows that the European Central Bank is expected to cut its key interest rate to 1.75% next year. The bank cut interest rates for the third time in a row on Thursday, to 3%. However, Fidelity said that the borrowing cost may be further reduced to 1.5%, and Pimco also believed that there was a risk of a larger interest rate cut. Further repricing may aggravate the rise of European bonds, which have outperformed the US and UK bond markets in 2024. A Bloomberg index, which tracks the return of euro bonds, has risen by more than 3% this year, while the corresponding indexes of US bonds and British bonds have risen by 2% and fallen by 2% respectively. "Market expectations are still more hawkish than we expected," said Salman Ahmed, global head of macro and strategic asset allocation at Fidelity. "If downside risks become a reality, then the European Central Bank may cut interest rates further."Helen Piano's profit distribution plan for the first three quarters: it is planned to distribute 0.32 yuan for 10 shares, and Helen Piano (300329) released the profit distribution plan for the first three quarters of 2024 on the evening of December 13, and it is planned to distribute a cash dividend of 0.32 yuan (including tax) to all shareholders for every 10 shares, with an estimated cash dividend of 8,092,400 yuan.Beijing Stock Exchange plans to carry out the fifth network-wide test of trading support platform optimization tomorrow.

Bank of Communications International: For the first time, it covers the "buy" rating and target price of HK$ 5.86 given by the rich industrial trust. The Bank of Communications International published a report that the rich industrial trust has multiple investment advantages and stock price drivers, including stable profit prospects, low valuation, further interest rate cuts and potential inclusion in Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, which are all beneficial to the valuation of REITs. For the first time, the bank covers the purchase of wealth and gives a "buy" rating with a target price of HK$ 5.86. Bank of Communications International believes that the rental income prospect of Zhifu Industrial Trust can remain basically stable. At the same time, the current share price corresponds to a dividend of 9.4% in 2025, and the gap between the dividend yield and the yield of 10-year US bonds is about 1.1 standard deviation lower than the long-term level. It is considered that the current valuation is still far below its long-term average level, and has reflected most of the worries of the retail market in Hong Kong. The report continued that although high interest rates will still have a negative impact on this year's earnings, it is expected that the dividend per unit of Zhifu will resume growth from next year under the condition of continuous interest rate reduction. It is expected that the dividend per unit will decrease by 10%, increase by 3.8% and increase by 4.1% from 2024 to 2026 to 36.34, 37.71 and 39.26 Hong Kong cents respectively.BOC International: Reiterating that China Telecom is the first choice for the "buy" rating of Chinese telecom stocks, BOC International published a research report that the contribution of cloud services to revenue and profit continues to promote the growth of Chinese telecom operators, and cloud and artificial intelligence services are becoming the only sustainable driving force for Chinese telecom operators' revenue and EBITDA. China Telecom and China Unicom have recorded steady growth in profit margin of EBITDA in two quarters this year. With the development of state-owned enterprises and local governments, the bank expects to support the development of end-to-end proprietary cloud infrastructure services for telecom operators for a long time to improve security and regulatory requirements, and at the same time, Chinese telecom stocks can provide attractive valuation and dividend returns to support their long-term performance. Therefore, it reiterates its "buy" rating for Chinese telecom stocks, with China Telecom as the first choice, followed by China Unicom and China Mobile.
