Market News: Volkswagen Audi will stop production in Brussels before February 28th.It is a "cancer" of the capital market to punish and prevent financial fraud, which destroys the integrity foundation of the capital market and seriously infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of investors. In recent years, the regulatory authorities have further strengthened the punishment of financial fraud and intensified the all-round and three-dimensional accountability. Recently, the relevant person in charge of the Economic Crimes Procuratorate of the Supreme People's Procuratorate said at the "Symposium on Difficult Issues of Legal Identification of Financial Fraud" held by the Law School of Renmin University of China and the Law School of Central University of Finance and Economics that we should adhere to the "zero tolerance" requirement and continue to increase the punishment and prevention of financial fraud. In criminal accountability, we need to grasp three issues. First, under the latest statutory principles, we should strengthen the convergence of execution, and adhere to the principle that "all suspected crimes should be removed, the arrest should be made, and the prosecution should be prosecuted"; Secondly, under the premise of adhering to the strict main tone, the criminal policy of "tempering justice with mercy" should be fully and accurately implemented. Finally, adhere to the whole chain to punish and prevent financial fraud. In the next step, the judicial case-handling organ will further subdivide the situation with relevant departments, improve the lenient and strict standards, and unify the judicial standards for law enforcement. (Securities Daily)Sources: A few ECB policymakers initially hoped to cut interest rates by 50 basis points. Three sources said that several ECB policymakers initially hoped to cut interest rates more sharply on Thursday, and they were worried that the new US tariffs would hinder economic growth. The European Central Bank cut interest rates by 25 basis points on Thursday, and opened the door for more easing policies, as the euro zone economy was dragged down by domestic political instability and the threat of a new round of trade war in the United States. However, due to the low forecast of inflation and economic growth, about five of the 26 members of the official Committee initially advocated a 50 basis point interest rate cut. In particular, they pointed out that if the incoming Trump administration imposes new tariffs on the EU, the growth of economic output next year may be lower than the 1.1% expected by the European Central Bank. A small number of policy makers who called for greater interest rate cuts quickly gave in, adding that given the current uncertainty, people are reluctant to make a hasty decision.
