Kaitou Macro: There is no end in sight for the industrial difficulties in the euro zone. Jack Allen-Reynolds, a macro economist at Kaitou, said in a report that the stagnation of industrial production in the euro zone in October shows that its industrial sector is still weak and will continue to struggle. In fact, he said, without Ireland's data, the G-20' s constant production data would look much worse, or it would drop by 0.5% month-on-month, while Ireland's data is notoriously unstable. Allen-Reynolds said that the output in October excluding Ireland decreased by 2.8% compared with the same period of last year, which was 18% lower than the output level of energy-intensive industries before the outbreak of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. He said that automobile production is 17% lower than the pre-epidemic level. Although the production performance of other industries is not so bad, the latest survey shows that the overall industrial production continues to decline.U.S. stocks of semiconductor ETFs rose by 2.57%, global technology stock index ETFs and technology industry ETFs rose by over 1%, while energy industry ETFs fell by over 0.3%.Jiangxi released a typical case of private equity funds serving the real economy.

Lianchuang Optoelectronics: It is planned to terminate the acquisition of Lianchuang Superconductor's equity. Lianchuang Optoelectronics announced that the company originally planned to realize the merger of Lianchuang Superconductor through capital increase and acquisition of a small number of equity.
