**U.S. Import Prices Rise for Second Consecutive Month Due to Rising Fuel Costs.** U.S. import prices unexpectedly rose in November, marking the second consecutive month of increases, driven by geopolitical tensions pushing up fuel prices. The U.S. Department of Labor reported on Friday that import prices rose 0.1% month-on-month in November, unchanged from the previous month, while economists had expected a decrease of 0.2%. The Department of Labor stated that the main reason for the rise in import prices last month was the increase in fuel prices. Due to escalating tensions in the Middle East, import oil prices rose 0.4% in November, after a cumulative decline of 12% from July to October Data shows that non-oil prices rose by 0.2%.

**U.S. polls show half of Americans lack confidence in Trump's ability to nominate qualified cabinet members.** A recent poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that half of Americans lack confidence in President-elect Trump's ability to nominate qualified individuals for new cabinet or key executive positions. The survey results indicate that 55% of American respondents have "some confidence" or "no confidence at all" in Trump's ability to select qualified candidates during his second term, while 27% of respondents expressed "great confidence." The poll was conducted from December 5 to 9, with 1,251 American adults surveyed, and has a margin of error of 3.7 percentage points.

**Bank of America: Investors flocked to Chinese stocks in the past week.** Bank of America strategists stated that investors poured funds into Chinese stocks again in the past week. As of Wednesday, Chinese equity funds received approximately $5.6 billion in capital allocation, marking the largest inflow in nine weeks, according to strategists including Michael Hartnett, citing EPFR Global data. He also believes that the first quarter of next year is a point for entering non-U.S. stocks. Given that investors have already positioned themselves heavily for rising dollar and U.S. Treasury yields, there is a risk of overshooting early next year. He considers bonds, gold, and international stocks attractive under the assumption that persistent inflation will force the Federal Reserve to become more hawkish.

**European Central Bank announces changes to the publication of emergency pandemic purchase program (PEPP) data.** The European Central Bank stated that on December 5, 2024, the Governing Council approved changes to the publication of monetary policy portfolio data under the emergency pandemic purchase program (PEPP), as the time approaches for the suspension of reinvestments under the PEPP by the end of 2024. For the first time since 2014, the euro system will not purchase bonds under either the asset purchase program or the PEPP. The foreseeable changes will ensure that the level of transparency provided by future published data remains appropriate. It is reported that PEPP data will be published monthly instead of every two months to align with the equivalent asset purchase program data series, and historical monthly data series since the program's inception will be published. The publication system for PEPP and the asset purchase program will be further aligned, including the retrospective and prospective redemption data for PEPP. The changes will take effect from January 8, 2025.

**The Trump team plans to abolish the reporting of autonomous driving accidents, and Tesla (TSLA.US) stock price rose over 4%.** The Trump transition team has suggested that the incoming government abolish the current general order requiring automakers to report accidents related to autonomous driving systems. Canceling this requirement would benefit Tesla; under this order, Tesla has reported over 1,500 accidents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the highest number. The suggestion to abolish this regulation comes from a transition team responsible for formulating a 100-day strategy for automotive policy. The team stated that this order is a mandatory "excessive" data collection. As of Friday's close, Tesla rose over 4%.

**Investors riding the "Musk trade" wave see substantial returns, with one fund even surging 500%.** Whether Wall Street funds or small short-term traders, anyone bold enough to bet heavily on Elon Musk's business empire is likely to end the year with significant profits, as Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. election has greatly boosted the wealth of the world's richest man. Musk's support for Trump during the campaign and his appointment to lead the newly established Department of Efficiency have made his companies, including Tesla and the private unicorns SpaceX and xAI, hot assets. These companies have seen their market values soar this year, pushing Musk's personal wealth past $400 billion. The closed-end fund Destiny Tech100 Inc. (DXYZ.US) is one such fund that has benefited from the Musk trade. Since the election on November 5, this fund has surged over 500%. The fund invests in shares of private unicorn companies, and its latest filing shows that as of the end of September, its bet on SpaceX accounted for more than one-third of its holdings. Trump's victory has led to a surge of retail investors flocking to this fund, driving its trading price far above its underlying asset valuation, with the premium level reaching astonishing heights.
