5. Anti-monopoly experts: Realize the combination of strict and soft anti-monopoly regulatory measures
Shi Jianzhong, deputy head of the expert advisory group of the Anti-Monopoly and Anti-Unfair Competition Commission of the State Council, said in an article in the Economic Daily that the Alibaba Group monopoly case once again proves that law enforcement is the best way to popularize the law. On the one hand, we need to strictly enforce the law, strengthen the rigidity of anti-monopoly law enforcement, and continuously improve the anti-monopoly regulatory system and mechanism. On the other hand, we also need to make full use of other anti-monopoly regulatory tools, such as administrative talks, administrative guidance, reminders and urgings, and regulatory quality and effectiveness assessments, so as to achieve a combination of rigid and soft anti-monopoly regulatory measures, and form a synergy between government supervision, corporate compliance, and industry self-discipline, so as to cultivate a culture of fair competition. At the same time, we should also note that the technology supporting the platform economy is booming, and the platform economy model is constantly evolving. However, as long as we adhere to the normalization, precision and echelon of anti-monopoly supervision, draw the "red line" and turn on the "green light", we can provide a sound and legal competition environment for the innovation and development of the platform economy.

3. Weak data once again triggered concerns about economic slowdown, and U.S. stocks had a "black start" in September
Macro strategist Cameron Crise said that throughout the post-pandemic period, the Fed's Beige Book has been pessimistic about economic growth, and the most optimistic comment on the United States economic expansion is "moderate." The latest Beige Book states that three regions have seen "modest" economic growth, while the other nine regions have seen flat or negative growth. This is slightly inferior to the previous report. It sounds terrible, and it's certain that the Fed can use this as an excuse to adjust interest rates this month, but it's not all that different from much of the past few years. In any case, the market can easily use this as an excuse to pour more money into the bond market.

The Fed's Beige Book noted a slight increase in economic activity in three regions, while the number of regions reporting flat or declining economic activity increased from five in the previous quarter to nine in the current period. Employment levels are generally stable, although there have been individual reports of companies filling only necessary positions, reducing working hours and shifts, or reducing overall employment levels through attrition. Still, there have been few reports of layoffs. Overall, wage growth was modest, while increases in non-labor input costs and selling prices ranged from mild to modest. Consumer spending declined in most regions, while it remained generally stable in the last reporting period.
5. US media: The Biden administration is ready to block Japan Steel's steel trade with United States
According to the Washington Post, United States President Joe Biden is preparing to announce that he will formally block Japan Steel's $14.9 billion acquisition of United States Steel (X.N). The decision would be a shocking veto of a deal proposed by United States' allies that became a major political controversy ahead of the United States election in November. The Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) has been investigating the proposed acquisition. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that the CEO of United States Steel said that if the plan to sell to Japan Steel fails, they will close the plant and possibly move its headquarters out of Pittsburgh. United States Steel (X.N) fell in volume, halted trading twice in the market, and the latest stock price was $29.2.
