# Elon Musk is sued by the SEC for violations; waiting for tonight's US CPI data | Today's important news review

### **0115 Dolphin's Key Focus:**

### **🐬 Macro/Industry**

**1.** According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the December PPI increased by 3.3% year-on-year, marking the highest growth since February 2023, and is below the expected value of 3.4%, which helps alleviate market concerns about rising prices in the U.S. Focus on the release of U.S. CPI data tonight at 21:30.

### **🐬 Individual Stocks**

**1.** $Intel(INTC.US)

Intel is planning to spin off its venture capital division, transforming it into an independent fund and renaming it Intel Capital. Intel Capital has $5 billion in assets, and the transformation will enable it to raise funds from external investors.

**2.** $Tesla(TSLA.US)

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, accusing him of violating securities regulations in 2022 for failing to disclose his stake in Twitter and purchasing shares at a "manipulated low price." The lawsuit primarily targets Musk, who already held over 5% of Twitter shares at the time but waited 11 days to submit the necessary disclosures to the SEC, violating federal securities laws. This delay ultimately cost at least $150 million less for the acquisition. However, Trump will officially take office next Monday, and it remains uncertain whether the SEC will continue the lawsuit.

**3.** $Miniso(MNSO.US)

Miniso announced that it has completed the issuance of stock-linked securities with a principal amount of $550 million. All underwriters of the stock-linked securities are independent third parties and not related persons of the company. This corresponds to Miniso's announcement on January 6 regarding the issuance of bonds, with plans to use the raised funds for stock repurchase and expansion into overseas markets.

### **🐬 Leading Sectors**

**Shanghai and Shenzhen:** Professional financial services, recreational products such as sports equipment, media;

**Hong Kong Stocks:** Managed healthcare, semiconductor manufacturers, insurance brokerage firms;

**U.S. Stocks:** Silver, commercial residential and mortgage financing, heavy electrical equipment

### **🐬 Tomorrow's Focus**

**1.** U.S. retail sales month-on-month, U.S. import price index month-on-month, U.S. business inventories month-on-month.
