MARKETSSTART 2024 LOWER AFTER MIXED DATA
2024年股市開局走低，數據好壞參半
The markets came back to trade for 2024with a couple of conflicting sets of data to digest【消化】. The first was the official manufacturing sector PMI, which wasreleased at the weekend, and Caixin's private survey of the sector which cameout this morning. Both focus on different portions of the industry - theofficial figures look at larger state-owned firms and the Caixin PMI coversmedium and smaller sized private firms. The official PMI showed the sectorshrinking at a faster pace in December, while the Caixin numbers pointed tomore orders and a faster expansion for the private sector. But with businessconfidence still lacking the markets fell today. The Shanghai Composite Indexshed 0.4 percent while the Shenzhen Component was 1.3 percent lower.
2024年股市恢復交易，要消化幾組相互矛盾的數據。首先是周末公布的官方制造業采購經理人指數（PMI），以及今天上午公布的財新中國制造業PMI。二者關注的都是該行業的不同部分--官方數據關注的是大型國有企業，而財新的PMI則涵蓋了中小型私營企業。官方PMI指數顯示，中國制造業12月份萎縮速度加快，而財新的數據則顯示，私營企業的訂單增加，擴張速度加快。由于商業信心仍然不足，今天股市下跌。上證綜指下跌0.4%，深證成指下跌 1.3%。

If Tesla wants to keep the crown【王冠】, it's going toneed similarly strong sales in the fourth quarter... well ahead of whatanalysts are expecting.
汽車制造商比亞迪的股票同樣下跌，盡管最新的銷售數據顯示它有可能超過特斯拉成為全球最大的純電動汽車銷售商。比亞迪2023年的銷量猛增了62%--僅今年第四季度就售出了創紀錄的52.6萬輛純電動汽車。如果特斯拉想保住桂冠，它需要在第四季度獲得同樣強勁的銷量......遠超分析師的預期。
