Vestas Wind Systems is closing 2025 in far better shape than many investors expected earlier this year and is heading toward its best year in a decade. The company’s stock has climbed about 74% year-to-date, reflecting a strong turnaround in market sentiment as the year ends (report dated 19 Dec 2025). #Vestas #VWS
The sharp share-price rebound contrasts with the worries that weighed on the company months ago; those concerns have largely dissipated as Vestas approaches year-end. Exact drivers and detailed financials were not provided in the summary, but the scale of the rally marks a notable recovery for the wind-turbine maker.
Market participants will be watching upcoming company reports and order-book updates to see whether the momentum can be sustained into 2026. The improvement completes what the report characterizes as a significantly better finish to 2025 than many had predicted. #windenergy #FiatNews
Dec. 19, 2025 — The Trump administration has opened a government review that could permit the first shipments of Nvidia’s H200 AI accelerators to China, five sources told Reuters. The H200 is described in the report as Nvidia’s second-most powerful AI chip, and the review could alter current U.S. controls on advanced AI hardware exports.
Sources say the process is at an early stage and no final decision has been announced. If approved, shipments of H200 units to Chinese customers would mark a notable shift in U.S. export policy toward AI semiconductors.
The story is based on accounts from five sources speaking to Reuters. Authorities and companies involved have not released formal statements in the report. #Nvidia #H200 #China #FiatNews

On Dec. 19, 2025, Nike shares plunged about 10% after the company reported a sharp drop in demand in China, sending investors to sell despite otherwise solid quarterly results. The market reaction underscores the sensitivity of global apparel makers to regional demand shocks.
Nike said its second fiscal quarter of 2026 produced revenues that beat expectations, yet the pronounced decline in Chinese sales outweighed the positive top-line surprise for many investors. The company did not provide a precise China sales figure in the summary released with the results.
Analysts and market participants flagged the severity of the China slowdown as the key driver of the stock move, reflecting concerns over regional consumer spending and its impact on multinational retailers. #NKE #China #FiatNews
On 19 December 2025 the Bank of Japan raised its policy rate to 0.75%, the highest level in 30 years, and told markets it expects to continue normalizing policy if forthcoming economic data confirm its outlook. The central bank said another rate increase could arrive within about six months if conditions warrant.
The decision lifts the benchmark rate to 0.75% and was presented as a data‑dependent step in the BoJ’s ongoing shift away from ultra‑loose settings. Officials framed the move as conditional on economic indicators validating their expectations, rather than as a fixed path.
Market participants will be watching incoming Japanese macro data closely for signs that would prompt further tightening. #BoJ #Japan #interestrates #FiatNews
CSOB economists expect the U.S. economy to maintain a solid pace of growth in 2026 driven by investment tied to the artificial intelligence technology cycle, but they forecast a modest slowdown to growth of 1.7%. Their outlook highlights stable inflation and an expectation of lower policy rates next year, while noting lingering questions about the Federal Reserve's stance.
The projection points to continued investment momentum as the primary growth engine, even as headline growth eases from higher recent rates. Analysts signal that inflation should remain broadly stable, supporting the case for easing monetary policy, though the timing and scale of any Fed moves are uncertain.
This outlook is part of CSOBs 2026 outlook and underscores how the AI-driven investment cycle could shape macro dynamics in the coming year, with growth, inflation and central-bank decisions closely interlinked. #US #Fed #inflation #AI #CSOB #FiatNews
The Czech National Bank left its policy rate unchanged at 3.5% on Dec. 18, 2025, but surprised markets with markedly softer forward guidance. The central bank’s milder communication halted the koruna’s recent weakening: EUR/CZK stabilized around 24.35 immediately after the announcement. #CNB #EURCZK #CZK
In a morning note accompanying the decision, analysts expect U.S. inflation to fall back to the Fed’s target in January, a development the note says would support continued Fed rate reductions. Markets interpreted the CNB’s wording as less hawkish than anticipated, weighing on expectations for further near‑term Czech tightening.
The move underscores the interaction between domestic policy signaling and global inflation prospects: a softer CNB tone and prospects of U.S. disinflation together helped steady the koruna at current levels. #FiatNews
