For some time, GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide -1) diet pills have caught fire in the United States and other western countries, and gradually marched into emerging markets. At present, two major pharmaceutical companies, Novo Nordisk in Denmark and Lilly in the United States, occupy most of the market share in the field of GLP-1 diet pills, but other pharmaceutical companies are also actively deploying the track. In 2026, Novo Nordisk's patent on smeagoutide will expire in China and India, while the patent on liraglutide, the main effective ingredient of the previous generation of GLP-1 diet pills, has expired in China and India.

The Antaike report shows that the nickel price will rise and fall in the first half of 2024, because the supporting cost below is still there. After the price reached a staged low in late July, the whole price showed a pattern of bottoming out and falling resistance, and the upward and downward momentum was not strong. Returning to the fundamentals itself, oversupply and the staged improvement of downstream consumption have limited room for price rise. On the whole, the price of nickel basically fluctuated within a narrow range this year. The highest nickel in Shanghai was 160,000, and the lowest was 119,000, mainly in the range of 120,000-140,000. Looking forward to the next year, it is expected that the upward and downward momentum of nickel price is not strong, and the main contradiction is still on the supply side. In 2025, it is expected that the price difference between products and inside and outside will further converge, and the price center of gravity will move down. It is expected that the nickel will be in the range of 14,500-18,500 US dollars/ton; The range of Shanghai nickel is 120,000-170,000 yuan/ton.National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC): There are several key points to unswervingly regard employment as the greatest livelihood.
