The report stated, "This action was ultimately decided by then-Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny." According to reports, this Ukrainian official made the decision without the permission of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. In other words, the Zelenskyy government was unaware of the sabotage operation at the time. It is understood that the CIA was aware of the Nord Stream pipeline bombing plan beforehand. Reports indicate that in 2022, CIA personnel and Ukrainian officials met in Kyiv, where Ukrainian experts explained the idea of destroying the gas pipelines to the Americans.On February 20th, Goldman Sachs predicted that gold prices will gradually climb, reaching $5,400 per ounce by the end of 2026, with diversification providing upside potential. At the same time, Goldman Sachs expects central bank gold purchases to accelerate again in 2026, at the pace seen in 2025. Their core view is that central bank demand, coupled with increased holdings by private investors (primarily in response to Fed rate cuts), will support a steady rise in gold prices. Goldman Sachs points out that if private sector diversification efforts (especially call option structures) increase, the market will face significant upside risks. Furthermore, while the medium-term trend remains upward, significant volatility is possible.Hong Kong-listed Zhipu (02513.HK) continued its upward trend, with gains once expanding to 19%.The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office: In Washington, D.C., the British Foreign Secretary will meet with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio to discuss UK-U.S. cooperation.

Panasonic Anticipates A Rise in Global Automobile Production This Fiscal Year

Panasonic (OTC:PCRFY) Holdings Corp, which manufactures batteries for Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) and other automakers, stated on Wednesday that it anticipates a recovery in global vehicle production this fiscal year, but that the two-year semiconductor shortage will persist.


Masashi Nagayasu, CEO of the Japanese conglomerate's automotive business, which manufactures in-car infotainment systems and other auto components, stated, "We will operate our business in consideration of the risks of fluctuations in vehicle manufacturing."


Nagayasu stated on the first day of Panasonic's annual investor event that the company has no plans to produce automobiles.


Panasonic, whose automotive division accounts for approximately 14 percent of its entire revenue, anticipates a 19 percent increase in sales for the fiscal year ending in March 2023. It anticipates an operational profit increase of roughly 17 percent.


Due to component shortages caused by COVID-19 lockdowns in China and higher commodity prices as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the company stated last month that it did not anticipate a profit increase for this fiscal year.


(This item corrects the firm name in paragraph 1 to Panasonic Holdings Corp from Panasonic Corp, and the sales growth forecast in paragraph 4 to 19 percent from 10 percent, and the operating profit forecast to nearly 17 percent from 15 percent decline.)
