Bank for International Settlements: Swap spreads are reflecting investors' concerns about excessive bond supply. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) pointed out that huge government loans are having an impact on the global interest rate market, saying that investors have demanded higher premiums for buying sovereign bonds. In its quarterly report released on Tuesday, the agency pointed out that the swap spreads of various currencies and maturities have narrowed rapidly in recent months, which are "signs of possible oversupply". As investors are worried about huge debt and deficit expansion, the yields of government bonds in the euro zone and Japan have recently exceeded comparable swap rates. This leads to the so-called swap spread becoming negative. Because national debt is usually regarded as a safer investment than interest rate swap, it is unusual for the swap spread to enter the negative range. According to the Bank for International Settlements, the negative swap spread seems to reflect the pressure faced by investors and intermediaries because they need to absorb more government bonds in the near future. In the United States, the swap spreads for some maturities have been negative for many years.Changhua Group: We received the designated notice from the flying car company.

On December 10th, local time, Majid Ansari, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar, said at a regular press conference that Qatar was in contact with relevant participants in the ceasefire negotiations in Gaza and exchanged views through talks and telephone calls. Ansari said that Qatar has recently felt some positive factors that are conducive to the advancement of negotiations. He also said that positive contact does not mean that positive results will definitely be achieved. Ansari also said that in order to reach an agreement, it is necessary to put pressure on both sides of the negotiations, rather than just putting pressure on one side and favoring the other. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Qatar has previously stated that Qatar suspended its mediation work in Gaza conflict in November because of the willingness and attitude of both parties to the conflict in Gaza to participate in the negotiations, and Qatar will resume its mediation work only after the parties concerned express their "sincerity and seriousness". Since the current Palestinian-Israeli conflict broke out, with the mediation of Qatar, Egypt and the United States, Israel and Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) have held several rounds of negotiations. However, apart from the short-term ceasefire between Palestine and Israel in November last year and the release of some detainees, there has been no substantial progress in several rounds of negotiations.
