In 2026, AI will face triple pressures of disillusionment, dislocation, and distrust. A PwC survey shows that only 10% of companies have achieved actual benefits, and 56% said there is no return on investment. Technology implementation has encountered bottlenecks, and CEO confidence has dropped to its lowest level in five years. AI is moving from potential narrative to a critical period of results verification, and enterprise transformation is imminent.
"Crash" of Japanese bonds and geopolitical "variables" - gold hits new highs, silver worries about market outlook

Gold exceeded $4,800 for the first time in history on Wednesday, driven by the escalation of the geopolitical crisis in Greenland and the collapse of the Japanese government bond market, setting a new intraday record of $4,819.75. Silver fell back slightly to close at $94.49, with experts warning against chasing higher prices. The yield on Japan's 30-year government bonds soared by more than 25 basis points to a record high, which may trigger a sell-off of US$130 billion in bonds, affecting both the Japanese, Korean and British bond markets. The finance ministers of the United States and Japan have joined forces to maintain stability, but the effect is limited. Institutions believe that gold still has room to rise, and it is not recommended to buy silver due to high volatility.

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is under criminal investigation by the Department of Justice, posing a serious threat to the central bank's independence. Powell fought back hard, accusing the government of pressuring the government to cut interest rates. Central banks around the world planned to unite in support, and the Governor of Canada was the first to express support. The market's business community is privately shocked but publicly silent as Republican senators plan to block Trump's nominee. This game between politics and central bank independence tests the cornerstone of global financial stability.

The Bank of Japan's benchmark interest rate rose to a 30-year high of 0.75%. The January meeting is expected to remain unchanged, but the weakness of the yen has become a key variable. Sanae's plans for an early election triggered volatility in the high market, and the yen fell to an 18-month low. The transmission effect of inflation has strengthened, and some officials advocate raising interest rates ahead of schedule in the summer. The market predicts that interest rates may rise to 1% in September, and the terminal interest rate is expected to be 1.5%. The central bank needs to balance assessing the effects of policies with responding to political fluctuations.

With data distortion and political intervention, how does the U.S. CPI in December rewrite the Fed's interest rate cut script?

The U.S. CPI in December was 2.7% year-on-year, and the core CPI was 2.6% year-on-year, which was the same as in November. The government shutdown caused statistical deviations in November data, which was suppressed and replenished in December. The Fed's wait-and-see attitude is misaligned with market expectations, and political pressure has exacerbated policy differences. The outlook for inflation in 2026 is tortuous and downward, but it faces upward risks such as tax cuts and AI investments.
