Economic Information

1. According to industry insiders’ disclosures, service providers engaged in GEO business on online platforms claim that users only need to pay a fee to have their products listed in major mainstream AI large models; making clients’ product advertisements the “standard answers” provided by AI models. Using GEO technology, AI is manipulated to include “private goods” or even deliver false information. The booming GEO business has led to many companies and platforms specializing in press release services. They have long-term contracts for various press releases to enable AI large models to cite and scrape data, becoming a key part of AI model hunting and data “poisoning.”

2. The China Internet Finance Association issued a “Risk Warning on the Security of OpenClaw Application in the Internet Financial Industry.” While OpenClaw intelligent agents can improve work efficiency, their default high system permissions and weak security configurations are easily exploited by attackers, becoming a breach point for stealing sensitive data or illegally controlling transactions, posing serious risks to the industry. The association advises financial consumers to be extremely cautious when installing OpenClaw on terminals used for online banking, securities trading, payments, and other personal financial services.

3. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, since March, pork and live pig prices nationwide have been declining. Data shows that in the first week of March, the national pork price was 23.04 yuan per kilogram, down 2.1% from the previous week, marking four consecutive weeks of month-on-month decline. The price of live pigs was 11.89 yuan per kilogram, down 4.5% from the previous week, with five consecutive weeks of decline. Additionally, after the Spring Festival, egg prices nationwide have also trended downward, with the first-week price at 8.81 yuan per kilogram, down 2% from the previous week.

4. The China Metallurgical News reports that recently, due to the outbreak of Middle East geopolitical conflicts and the resumption of work after the Chinese New Year, iron ore prices have rebounded rapidly, attracting market attention. However, a deeper analysis of the current supply and demand relationship shows that the rebound lacks substantial support and does not have a basis for sustained price increases. Market participants should remain rational and be alert to the realistic risks behind overly optimistic expectations. First, current iron ore supply is ample, and future increases are expected; second, demand has experienced both internal and external contraction; third, total inventory and structural pressures are significant. Overall, the February rebound in iron ore prices is more a result of sentiment and technical correction rather than fundamental supply and demand improvements, and the upward potential is limited under ongoing oversupply pressures. Market participants should look beyond short-term fluctuations, understand the fundamental pattern, and treat price volatility rationally.
