<h2>Market News</h2>
Morgan Stanley warns: Dollar bulls beware! &#34;Silent bears&#34; are preparing to strike. Morgan Stanley stated that despite the dollar's dominance sweeping across the market, traders looking to sell the dollar are far more common than people realize. Strategists, including David Adams, wrote in a report: &#34;While there are many bullish on the dollar, and perhaps the most vocal in expressing their views, it seems there are even more 'silent' investors looking to sell the dollar. Many investors are holding idle funds, waiting for the right signal to short the dollar.&#34; The team indicated that a catalyst may be on the horizon: inflation data before March could increase the likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, while lengthy fiscal negotiations in Congress may disappoint dollar bulls. Strategists also expect that easing trade policies could put pressure on the dollar.

Trillions of incremental funds are on the way, is a long-term bull market for A-shares imminent? Wall Street anticipates 13 trillion yuan entering the market within three years. Top analysts from Wall Street believe that the latest measures from the Chinese government will inject at least 1 trillion yuan of additional funding support into the A-share market by 2025. The prediction from JP Morgan, a giant in commercial banking, is the most optimistic, forecasting a total injection of 13 trillion yuan of incremental funds over the next three years. With an enormous amount of capital about to flood into the Chinese stock market, these Wall Street giants are beginning to envision a so-called &#34;long-term bull market&#34; for A-shares. According to the latest forecast data, the overall additional purchasing volume from insurance companies and mutual fund companies this year is approximately 1.3 trillion yuan. The institution stated that although this only accounts for about 1.7% of the current total trading market value of A-shares, it expects the inflow of new funds over the next three years to reach between 4 to 13 trillion yuan.

The Bank of Japan raised interest rates on Friday to the highest level since the global financial crisis in 2008, and Governor Kazuo Ueda pointed out that if the economic outlook is realized, the Bank of Japan will continue to raise interest rates.

We have no preset ideas. We will make decisions at each policy meeting based on economic and price developments and risks.&#34;

The company will announce its complete Q4 results next Tuesday.

Boeing's commercial airplane division will account for $1.1 billion in accounting charges related to its 767 and the delayed 777X wide-body aircraft, some of which are associated with strike activities. The company stated that an additional $1.7 billion in charges is related to five troubled defense projects, including the KC-46 aerial refueling tanker and the next-generation Air Force One aircraft.
