On February 6th, the China Chamber of Commerce for Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCEIP) noted that the European Commission recently launched an in-depth investigation into a Chinese wind power company under the EUs Foreign Subsidies Regulation (FSR). This is the second such investigation following the EUs in-depth investigation into a Chinese security inspection equipment company last December. CCCEIP expresses strong concern and opposition to this. Chinese wind power and other green industry companies have made significant contributions to Europes green transformation and addressing global climate change by expanding into the European market through continuous technological innovation, a complete industrial and supply chain, and products tailored to the needs of the European market and consumers. There is enormous potential for cooperation between China and the EU in the fields of green energy and digital infrastructure construction. CCCEIP strongly urges the EU to uphold an objective and impartial stance, exercise caution in using unilateral investigation tools, provide a non-discriminatory and predictable business environment for Chinese companies operating in Europe, and jointly promote industrial integration and connectivity between China and the EU to achieve global green and sustainable development goals.February 6th Futures News: The following are the warehouse receipts and changes for various commodities traded on the Shanghai Futures Exchange: 1.

Malhotra said, "Our foreign exchange reserves have decreased, so all holdings change accordingly. These are fluctuations we disclose daily or weekly, but there has been no reduction in our holdings of US Treasury bonds." According to data released by the US government in January, as of November, Indias holdings of long-term US Treasury bonds had fallen to $174 billion, the lowest level in five years, down 26% from its peak in 2023, when the RBI was intensifying its efforts to support the weakening rupee. Indias move to reduce its US Treasury holdings comes against the backdrop of some major economies gradually withdrawing from the worlds largest bond market, due to rising concerns about "American exceptionalism." Malhotras latest statement comes as Trump decides to lower tariffs on India from 50% to 18%.On February 6th, PwC released its "2025 China M&A Market Review and Outlook," revealing that the total transaction value for the year exceeded US$400 billion, a surge of 47% year-on-year, marking the first annual increase in nearly five years. The total number of transactions surpassed 12,000, an increase of nearly 20%, indicating a comprehensive strengthening of market activity.

Domestic strategic investment led the strong recovery in the M&A market, with domestic strategic investors completing 3,639 M&A transactions throughout the year, totaling US$239 billion, a significant increase of 83% year-on-year. Of the 34 mega-deals in the domestic strategic investment sector, more than half were led by state-owned capital, and many were concentrated in industries such as semiconductors, artificial intelligence, and new energy.The onshore yuan closed at 6.9401 against the US dollar at 16:30 on February 6, up 7 points from the previous trading day.
