As the stock market approaches the third quarter, data from Pictet shows that Q3 global main indices have traditionally seen more conservative growth compared to other quarters, yet markets like the US, India, and Japan can still maintain growth of 1.7% to 4.8%. With American stocks historically showing strong Q3 performance, the focus on growth markets this year should be on these regions. PGIM Jennison's fund manager mentioned that with over 70 years of data, if the S&P 500 accumulates over a 10% growth from January to May, the probability of continuous growth in the latter half of the year exceeds 90%, with an average return of 11.6%. Industries such as technology, communications, consumer goods, and healthcare in the US are prime areas for investment, especially in fields like AI, cloud computing, social media, and digital payments, with the medical sector also showing promising performance.

China's credit cycle, once a major force driving industries and markets globally, is now slowing down, with data forecasts indicating a slight increase after a contraction in April. Policymakers in China are shifting focus towards sustainable growth strategies that don't heavily rely on debt expansion, such as high-tech manufacturing. The People’s Bank of China has shown no intention of increasing lending, as there's little demand for credit due to the real estate crisis. If successful, this shift may diminish the significance of Chinese debt as a leading indicator for the country's business cycle and global commodity markets, marking a significant change from the past 15 years.

In the discussion of the first episode of 'Agnostic Detective,' the concept of 'sacrificing oneself as a Luohan' was inspired by a local legend of human sacrifice at Da Hu Park in Taipei. Taiwan comics have rarely explored mystery-related themes until recent years when longer works began to emerge. 'Agnostic Detective,' written by Xuesis and illustrated by Yiwuzhou, combines elements of mystery and the supernatural, meticulously arranging each panel to ensure readers fully understand the story progression. Xuesis calculates the screenplay based on 'panels,' providing additional explanations for character dialogues and actions to the artist during storyboard meetings in order to clarify the reasoning process. Yiwuzhou shares the challenge of translating how readers understand the mystery-solving process by incorporating progression reminders and focusing on representing puzzle principles or relationships on the page. Even though the story involves elements of the supernatural, Xuesis maintains a balance where the supernatural does not overly influence the mystery aspect. Their collaboration has attracted many readers to book signings, and Xuesis emphasizes the importance of identifying where supernatural elements should play a role within the mystery aspect from the plotline early on.
