乌克兰结束战争的谈判取得进展
| Ukraine said it has reached a "common understanding" with the US during talks in Genera on a peace deal aimed at ending the nearly four-year war with Russia. US President Donald Trump said his original 28-point peace plan, which was heavily weighted in Moscow's favor, "has been fine-tuned, with additional input from both sides." He said the revised plan will be presented to Russia, where its reception is unclear. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov warned that while Moscow accepted the original plan, its support may be different under substantial changes. It's known that some key elements of the original plan have been dropped, including a requirement that Kiev renounce any possible membership in NATO and reduce the size of its military. The status of territory claimed by both Ukraine and Russia, and Western security guarantees for Ukraine remain sticking points. European leaders backing Ukraine remained skeptical. French President Emmanuel Macron said he sees "no Russian will for a ceasefire," while the UK said there is "a long way to go – a tough road ahead." | |

美国零售销售增长低于预期
| US retail sales increased a smaller-than-expected 0.2 percent in September from August, the Commerce Department said in report delayed by the 43-day government shutdown. The data were reinforced by a survey from the Conference Board showing consumer confidence sagged to a seven-month low in November, with fewer households planning to buy big-ticket items over the next six months. Economists cited the Trump administration's global duties on imports, which have raised consumer prices. Consumer spending habits comes into focus this time of year as the Christmas shopping season begins. With consumer spending weak, unemployment rising and inflation tame, bets on the Federal Reserve cutting rates at its December meeting have increased. | |

COP30 峰会:在全球变暖问题上再度“开溜”吗?
| The UN COP30 climate summit ended in Brazil with environmentalists and scientists calling it a cop-out. The compromise final agreement acknowledged global warming but omitted any mention of fossil fuels that scientists say are the major contributor. The accord did agree that rich nations should triple financing to help poorer countries that aren't big polluters but are vulnerable to the effects of global warming, though past pledges haven't always been honored. The agreement also sets up a tropical forest fund to address concerns like deforestation of the Amazon but shied away from more direct action on the issue. The summit's conclusion was disappointment for the 80 or so nations pushing for a more specific timetable to rein in greenhouse gases and phase out fossil fuels, and a win for big oil producing nations. Commenting on the disunity, UN Climate Change Executive Secretary Simon Steill said, "I'm not saying we're winning the climate fight. But we are undeniably still in it, and we are fighting back."
The US shunned the summit amid President Donald Trump's stated belief that climate warming is a hoax. At the Group of 20 summit in South Africa this weekend, which Trump didn't attend, leaders of the world's biggest economies issued a joint statement strengthening their commitment to the robust 2016 Paris Climate Accords, which Trump pulled out of. |

什么 AI 泡沫?英伟达盈利超预期
| Chipmaking giant Nvidia, the world's most valuable listed company, topped market expectations with third-quarter earnings showing a 62 percent increase in revenue to US$57 billion and net income surging 65 percent to US$31.9 billion. It forecast fourth-quarter earnings of US$65 billion, well above analysts' predictions. The widely watched results are expected to quell, at least for now, concerns about the stability of big tech's headlong dive into spending on artificial technology.
Nvidia chips are used by all the leading AI companies to develop new models and technologies. Sales to data centers surged two-thirds to US$51 billion, with the bulk of those sales in "compute" chips, the company's graphic processing units. Nvidia said its best-selling product is the new Blackwell Ultra chip. "Blackwell sales are off the charts, and cloud GPUs are sold out," said Chief Executive Officer Jensen Huang. "AI is going everywhere, doing everything, all at once." Nvidia shares have declined in recent trading amid concerns about an AI bubble that has sent stock valuations far ahead of short-term earnings potential. In off-hours trading in New York after the results were announced, Nvidia shares rose 3 percent, and other big tech stocks, including Oracle, Alphabet and AMD, also climbed. |
