**【Hot Topics Ahead】**

**International Regulatory Agencies' Guidelines Do Not Explicitly Ban Pre-Hedging, Investors Call for Ban to Be Upheld**

According to Zhitong Finance APP, international securities regulators have proposed a series of flexible recommendations aimed at clarifying when traders can engage in pre-hedging operations, a result that is likely to disappoint the asset management industry’s calls for stricter regulatory rules. Pre-hedging refers to traders using information about investors' planned trades to place their own trading orders in advance. Banks claim that this practice helps mitigate their own risks and improves quotes for clients. However, investors are concerned that this may disrupt the market to their detriment—some even likening it to "front-running."

**Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission Issues New Guidelines to Facilitate Licensed Virtual Asset Trading Platforms to Connect Global Liquidity and Expand Diversified Products and Services** The Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) published two new circulars outlining the expected standards for operators of licensed virtual asset trading platforms in Hong Kong, marking an important step towards facilitating their access to global liquidity and expanding the range of products and services offered. One of the circulars states that the SFC allows platform operators to merge trading instructions with associated overseas virtual asset trading platforms into a shared order book. This move is a first step under Pillar A of the ASPIRe roadmap, aimed at attracting global platforms, trading volumes, and liquidity providers. The SFC will next explore the feasibility of allowing licensed brokers to transfer client trading instructions to regulated overseas liquidity pools under the same group, and will then consider whether to further expand the relevant arrangements.

Recently, the Goldman Sachs China research team released a report stating that based on recent policies signaling further enhancement of the competitiveness of advanced manufacturing and boosting exports, the institution has upgraded its forecasts for China's export growth and real GDP growth. Goldman Sachs expects that in the coming years, China's export volume will grow by 5% to 6% annually, gaining more global market share and driving overall economic expansion. For the forecast of China's real GDP growth in 2025, based on factors such as accelerated government spending, it has been raised from 4.9% to 5.0%. "For 2026 and 2027, we have raised our real GDP growth forecasts primarily reflecting the upward revision of export growth forecasts," the Goldman Sachs China macroeconomic research team stated, noting that their forecasts for China's real GDP growth in 2026 and 2027 are significantly higher than market expectations. Goldman Sachs believes that increasing the share of consumption in China's GDP will be a gradual process, and that the degree of policy easing will increase in the next 6 to 9 months.
