한국 정부는 자동차 제조사들에 전기차(EV)에 사용되는 배터리 브랜드를 공개하도록 의무화하는 방안을 검토 중이다. 이는 최근 전기차 화재 사고로 인해 차량의 안전에 대한 소비자의 우려가 높아진 데 따른 것이다.

Leading digital asset manager Grayscale Investments broadened its Top 20 list of cryptocurrencies on Monday by adding six new tokens with strong growth potential for the upcoming quarter.
What Happened: Grayscale <a href="https://www.grayscale.com/research/market-commentary/grayscale-research-insights-crypto-sectors-in-q1-2025">added </a>Layer-1 blockchain token Hyperliquid (HYPE), decentralized stablecoin protocol Ethena (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">ENA</a>), AI agent creator Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), decentralized exchange Jupiter (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">JUP</a>), liquid staking protocol Jito (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">JTO</a>), and decentralized data network Grass (GRASS) to the list, which it publishes every quarter.
Interestingly, VIRTUAL has been the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42717267/2024s-cryptocurrency-champions-these-top-performers-surpass-bitcoin-in-a-year-of-unprecedented-gains">market&#8217;s best performer in 2024</a>, with year-to-date gains of 26043%. Additionally, ENA has been <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/24/12/42500884/trump-backed-world-liberty-financials-purchases-trigger-strong-rally-in-these-defi-tokens">heavily accumulated</a> by President-elect Donald Trump-backed platform World Liberty Financial.
The asset manager said it considered metrics like network adoption, upcoming catalysts, sustainability of fundamentals, token valuation, token supply inflation, and potential tail risks for the inclusion.
Grayscale added that the focus was on assets that touched on themes like the U.S. election and its potential impact on cryptocurrency regulation, decentralized AI technology, and growth in the Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) ecosystem.

The &#8216;Top 20&#8217; list consisted of a diversified set of assets spanning different cryptocurrency sectors, including Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>), Chainlink (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/link/usd">LINK</a>), and Uniswap (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/uni/usd">UNI</a>).
Why It Matters: This decision by Grayscale Research comes in the wake of a transformative forecast for the cryptocurrency industry in 2025. According to a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42724952/2025-outlook-bitcoin-to-150000-ethereum-to-5500-dogecoin-hits-1-galaxy-research-predicts">study</a>&nbsp;by Galaxy Research, the industry is set for significant advances in adoption, infrastructure, and regulatory clarity. 
The research predicted Bitcoin to surpass $150,000 in the first half of 2025, potentially reaching or exceeding $185,000 by the fourth quarter.
The inclusion of these new tokens implied the growing potential of assets tied to decentralized finance and AI, as well as the weight attached to assets that provide utility. 
Price Action: At the time of writing, all of these new entrants to the &#8216;Top 20&#8217; list were down in the 24-hour period, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA..">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

"We expect tech stocks to be up 25% in 2025," Ives stated, adding that it will be bolstered by "a goldilocks foundation for Big Tech and Tesla" and reduced regulatory hurdles under a Donald Trump-led administration.
Ives also cautioned about potential "white-knuckle moments" in 2025, citing concerns around Fed actions, China trade dynamics, and stretched valuations.
However, he said, &#8220;This will create the opportunities to own the tech theme and key names which has been our core investing tech playbook the last 2 years.&#8221;

Palantir, Salesforce, And Snowflake Made The Cut, But 2 'Magnificent 7' Giants Left Out From Dan Ives' Top 10 Tech Winners For The AI Revolution In 2025 List

New Street Research analyst Pierre Ferragu predicts 2025 will mark the beginning of a new artificial intelligence era, citing breakthrough developments in Tesla Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/technicals/24/10/41449625/tesla-or-google-who-will-steer-the-future-of-self-driving">Full Self-Driving technology</a> and OpenAI&#8217;s latest O3 model.
What Happened: In a detailed research note, Ferragu emphasizes the remarkable performance of OpenAI&#8217;s O3 model on the Advanced Reasoning Corpus &#8211; Artificial General Intelligence benchmark, a testing framework that assesses the reasoning and problem-solving abilities of AI systems. 
The model achieved an impressive 87.5% score, nearing human-level capabilities and marking a substantial improvement over previous AI models, which typically scored below 10%.
&#8220;This is not merely incremental improvement, but a genuine breakthrough, marking a qualitative shift in AI capabilities,&#8221; says François Chollet, founder of the ARC-AGI foundation, as quoted in the research report.
The O3 model, set for release in January, demonstrates remarkable improvements across multiple benchmarks. It achieved a 71.7% accuracy in software engineering tasks, matching human professional performance, and scored 2,727 Elo in competitive coding, surpassing many expert programmers.
&#8220;Between FSD v13.2.2 driving me around with literally no intervention and o3 scoring 88% at ARC-AGI, I do believe the inflection is now. 2025 will be year zero of the AI era,&#8221; Ferragu wrote on X.

Why It Matters: However, these advances come with substantial computational costs. The high-performance version of O3 requires approximately 2,000 times more computing power than its predecessor, with a single AGI task costing about $3,500 to process.
Ferragu suggests this breakthrough has significant implications for AI infrastructure providers. &#8220;We likely are still only at the very beginning of the growth curve for AI infrastructure and its supply chain,&#8221; he notes, indicating potential investment opportunities in the sector.
While O3 represents a major <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42712683/openai-lays-out-its-for-profit-transition-plans-says-it-must-evolve-to-advance-its-agi-mission">step toward Artificial General Intelligence</a>, Ferragu clarifies it hasn&#8217;t achieved full AGI status yet. The model is expected to face challenges with next-generation tests, where estimates suggest it may not exceed 25% accuracy.

What Happened: Bitcoin had a bumpy morning, dipping to a low of $91,317 in early trade, recovering to highs of $94,000 late in the afternoon, and then retreating to $92,000 by evening.
Since the surge to $99,000 on Christmas, the leading cryptocurrency has slipped as much as 6.5%.
Ethereum dipped below $3,400, extending its weekly losses to 2.40%.&nbsp;
The downward market triggered $283 million worth of liquidations in the last 24 hours, with bullish bets worth nearly $200 million getting wiped out.
That said, Bitcoin's rebound to $100,000 from here could liquidate $687 million in short positions.
About 67% of all traders on Binance were levered long on Bitcoin, according to the Long/Short Ratio indicator, indicating expectations of a rebound.
The "Greed" sentiment cooled further from 65 to 64, according to the Crypto Fear &amp; Greed Index.

Analyst Notes: Influential cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez weighed in on Bitcoin's corrective action.
"Bitcoin below $93,000 is a problem because, as you can see, there isn&#8217;t enough significant support below it," Ali said, pointing to fewer addresses that purchased the cryptocurrency at prices below $93,000.

Bitcoin Falls Below $93K, Ethereum, Dogecoin Slip Ahead Of New Year: Top Analyst Anticipates 'Problem' For BTC

Influential economist Mohamed El-Erian recently pointed out the stark contrast between US &#8220;economic exceptionalism&#8221; and the struggles of lower-income households in what he calls a &#8220;K economy.&#8221;
What Happened: On Monday, El-Erian posted a comment and shared a story from the front page of the Financial Times, highlighting the growing economic disparity in the United States. He noted that while the US economy is exceptional in many ways, it has also led to a &#8220;K economy&#8221; where lower-income households face significant and increasing challenges.

It is a reminder that, from a distributional perspective, US &quot;economic exceptionalism&quot; has been accompanied by what many have called a &quot;K economy&quot; in which lower-income households face considerable and mounting challenges. <a href="https://t.co/0HL08g8nMJ">pic.twitter.com/0HL08g8nMJ</a>

El-Erian&#8217;s post comes in the context of a recent report on the surge in US credit card defaults, which have reached their highest level since the 2008 financial crisis.

Why It Matters: This situation underscores the financial strain on lower-income households, which El-Erian refers to in his &#8220;K economy&#8221; comment. The term &#8220;K economy&#8221; refers to a situation where the wealthy continue to prosper while the less affluent struggle, creating a divide that resembles the letter &#8216;K.&#8217; Traditionally the economy is viewed as &#8216;V&#8217; shaped with even ups and downs.

This figure, representing a 50% increase&nbsp;from the same period in&nbsp;2023, is the highest&nbsp;in 14 years, according to&nbsp;data from BankRegData.
Mark Zandi, the head of Moody's Analytics, stated,&nbsp;"High-income households are fine, but&nbsp;the bottom third of US&nbsp;consumers are tapped out. Their&nbsp;savings rate right now is&nbsp;zero."
The rise in defaults underscores the strain on consumers&#8217; personal finances following years of high inflation and the Federal Reserve&#8217;s policy of maintaining elevated borrowing costs. Early indicators suggest a growing number of&nbsp;defaults on consumer debt.
Capital One, the third-largest credit card lender in the US, reported its annualized credit card write-off rate hit 6.1% as of November, up from 5.2% a year ago.
Odysseas Papadimitriou, head of consumer&nbsp;credit research firm WalletHub, noted,&nbsp;"Consumer spending power has been&nbsp;diminished." Despite nearly $60 billion&nbsp;in consumer credit card debt&nbsp;being written off&nbsp;in the past year, another&nbsp;$37 billion remains overdue by at least one month.

Bill Ackman Sets Off Fannie Mae Buzz — Boeing, MicroCloud Hologram, MicroStrategy, Tesla Also On Investors' Radars Today

A South Korean court has approved the detainment of President Yoon Suk Yeol over his imposition of martial law earlier in the month.
What Happened: On Tuesday (local time), the Seoul Western District Court issued a warrant against Yoon on charges of masterminding a failed martial law declaration, orchestrating an insurrection, and abusing power, according to <a href="https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/nation/2024/12/356_389449.html">The Korea Times</a> report. The Corruption Investigation Office applied for the warrant after Yoon ignored three requests for an appearance from the anti-corruption agency for questioning.
The court warrant grants the CIO 48 hours to detain Yoon for questioning and seek an arrest warrant. However, the Presidential Security Service has blocked investigators from accessing both the presidential office compound and Yoon&#8217;s official residence, citing concerns over military security.
Although Yoon has presidential immunity from criminal prosecution, this protection does not extend to charges of insurrection or treason. Yoon&#8217;s defense team contends that the CIO does not have the legal authority to investigate insurrection, a charge that, under the current system, falls within the investigative jurisdiction of the police.
Yoon was suspended from his duties after the opposition-controlled National Assembly voted to impeach him on December 14 for imposing martial law, which was overturned by a parliamentary vote just six hours later. The Constitutional Court has initiated proceedings to decide whether to remove the incumbent from office or reinstate him, with a ruling expected within 180 days beginning Dec. 14.

Why It Matters: The impeachment and potential arrest of President Yoon Suk Yeol is the culmination of a series of events that started with his controversial&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42292488/south-korean-etfs-slide-on-presidents-emergency-martial-law-declaration-protect-the-constitutional-democratic-order">declaration of martial law</a>&nbsp;on Dec. 3. This move, which Yoon justified as a measure against anti-state activities, led to a significant drop in South Korean ETFs and widespread protests across the country.
In mid-December, South Korean lawmakers, including several members of Yoon&#8217;s own People Power Party (PPP), <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/12/42497084/south-korean-lawmakers-impeach-yoon-over-martial-law-attempt">voted to impeach him</a> over his martial law attempt. The Constitutional Court now has 180 days to ratify the impeachment, which could result in Yoon&#8217;s removal from office.
The Korea Composite Stock Price Index was seen trading lower by 0.22% at 2,399.49 at the time of writing. Shares of major South Korean companies like Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SSNLF#OTC">SSNLF</a>) and Hyundai Motor Co. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HYMTF#OTC">HYMTF</a>) were in the red. Korean memory giant SK Hynix Inc. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HXSCL#OTC">HXSCL</a>) also traded lower in Seoul.

The private space industry had a breakout year in 2024 and the upward trend looks poised to continue into 2025. Here's a look at the trends that could shape the future of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/space/24/12/42717337/spacex-kicks-off-post-christmas-operations-with-double-launch-eyes-134-missions-in-2024">the space industry.&nbsp;</a>
Trump Catalyst: Investors are gearing up for incoming President Donald Trump who oversaw the establishment of NASA's Artemis program, the re-launch of the National Space Council and the creation of the Space Force during his first term in office.&nbsp;
James Bruegger, chief investment officer of Seraphim Space, also sees space being a focus of the second Trump administration, especially in the face of China's "increasing assertiveness" in space technology.

Communication Satellites: Bruegger also said he expects 2025 to be the year that direct-to-device satellite connectivity goes mainstream and pointed to Apple's recent $1.5 billion investment in Globalstar as an example.&nbsp;
AST SpaceMobile, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASTS#NASDAQ">ASTS</a>) is building a cellular broadband network in space to operate directly with standard, unmodified mobile devices and could benefit from other carriers looking to space to improve connectivity. The company recently announced <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42390726/ast-spacemobile-secures-long-term-vodafone-deal-to-boost-global-coverage">a partnership</a> with Vodaphone to expand the carrier's global broadband connectivity. 
Market Interest: Investors showed growing interest in private space companies in 2024 and Bruegger expects the trend to continue into 2025. He pointed to Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>) as one of the most valuable private space companies with a market cap of $13.61 billion as of Monday. Rocket Lab shares have gained more than 375% in 2024. 
Intuitive Machines, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNR#NASDAQ">LUNR</a>) is another space company to watch in the new year. The company successfully landed its Odysseus lunar lander on the moon in February 2024 to become the first U.S. spacecraft to land on the surface of the moon since the end of the Apollo era in the 1970s. 
The company is positioned for continued growth in 2025 with long-term NASA contracts and two new contract awards from NASA's Near Space Network <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/sports/24/12/42647377/intuitive-machines-stock-is-moving-higher-monday-whats-going-on">announced</a> last week. Intuitive Machines shares are up over 640% this year.&nbsp;
"As we look ahead to 2025, we expect it to be once again a stellar year for SpaceTech," Bruegger said.&nbsp;

Space Industry To See Another 'Stellar Year' In 2025, Investor Says

Legendary investor Warren Buffett is best known for stocks he has bought over the years and his gains for Berkshire Hathaway Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>)(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) investors. He's also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/24/10/41418702/warren-buffetts-words-of-wisdom-benzinga-readers-pick-their-favorite-oracle-of-omaha-quote">known for quotes</a> that can be applied to investing and life.
Here's a look back at Buffett's take on the importance of reputation.
What Happened: Buffett has many highlights during his lengthy career leading Berkshire Hathaway, but one of the lower moments almost occurred<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/16/09/8483241/warren-buffett-weathered-the-salomon-brothers-scandal-whats-that-mean-for-wells-f"> due to an investment </a>in investment bank Salomon Brothers.
Berkshire bought a 12% stake in the company in the 1980s and a scandal at the firm over treasury bonds almost took the company under and led to Buffett stepping in as interim chairman and CEO of the company.
In September 1991, Buffett <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7u7-UNSkr4o">testified </a>before the House Commerce subcommittee in Washington D.C. and shared that he asked every Salomon Brothers employee to be their own compliance officer.
He also asked for two key demands from employees with the first one being that they obey all rules and ask themselves if they're willing to appear on the front page of the newspaper and have their work accomplishments read by their spouses and kids.
If they followed this rule, Buffett was pretty confident they could ignore his second demand.
"Lose money for the firm and I will be understanding. Lose a shred of reputation for the firm, and I will be ruthless," Buffett said in the hearing.
Salomon Brothers was later <a href="https://archive.nytimes.com/dealbook.nytimes.com/2008/09/24/warren-buffett-and-the-salomon-saga/">acquired </a>by Travelers Group, netting a profit for Berkshire Hathaway and showing how Buffett helped saved the company. 
You may not be a billionaire like Warren Buffett, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/12/42490690/benzingas-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: Buffett has used the Salomon Brothers case as an important learning lesson over the years when discussing the newspaper test and the value of reputation.
Salomon Brothers knew one of their employees was a bad actor and didn't report and kept trying to shove the story away, before coming within inches of destroying the company, Buffett once said.
Buffett said all the company had to do was pick up the phone and report the trading activity but instead former Salomon CEO John Gutfreund, who was once called the "King of Wall Street," destroyed his career.
One of Buffett's most important lessons he tells his managers revolves around the concept of reputation.
"We can afford to lose money, even a lot of money. We can't afford to lose reputation. Even a shred of reputation. Let's be sure that everything we do in business can be reported on the front page of a national newspaper," Buffett <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5_vvcnFCgM">said </a>in another interview.
In the interview, Buffett mentioned that Berkshire Hathaway had been named one of the most admired companies in the world, something that took 37 years to accomplish.
"We could lose it in 37 minutes and that's the message."
Buffett said that once reputation is lost, you may not get it back.
"Can lose it in five minutes."
A strong focus on reputation could be among the reasons why Berkshire Hathaway has stood the test of time and Buffett has been able to spot good CEOs and companies to invest in.

Warren Buffett's Chilling Warning To Employees: 'Lose A Shred Of Reputation For The Firm And I Will Be Ruthless'

Kevin O'Leary, chairman of O'Leary Ventures and a prominent investor on Shark Tank, was straightforward during a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pS2TdlwT7Q">interview</a> on Fox Business. He firmly declared that it was time to stop treating China as a developing nation, calling the status outdated and unfair. O'Leary also warned that China is engaged in what he described as &#8220;an economic war with us.&#8221;
The investor pointed out a significant issue with how the World Trade Organization (WTO) designates China as a developing nation. This classification allows China to receive special benefits, including sweetheart loans that O'Leary says American taxpayers partially fund. He stated bluntly, "China is not a developing nation. They're at economic war with us and European countries."

O'Leary explained that these benefits have <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40544141/they-have-screwed-me-over-the-last-12-years-says-kevin-oleary-cheers-for-tariffs-squeeze-chinese-hea">given China an unfair advantage</a> for decades. "Forty years of getting screwed, that's what happened," he said, highlighting how the U.S. and other nations have essentially subsidized China's rise while their economies have faced challenges.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Hardline Stance on Trade</h2>
O'Leary shared his frustrations as a business owner who has faced what he described as unfair practices by China. "They don't play by the rules; there's nothing reciprocal in our relations," he said. For O'Leary, the solution is clear: hit China where it hurts most – their economy. He argued that the only way to get China's attention is through "very selected <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41417400/kevin-oleary-calls-for-400-tariffs-on-china-but-his-shark-tank-co-star-and-billionaire-investor-mark">high-impact weaponry like tariffs</a>."
According to O'Leary, imposing tariffs on sectors critical to Chinese employment could force the government to rethink its approach. "If you want to mess with the largest economy that you trade with, we will force a lot of people that make yoga mats or electronics or whatever else it is to be unemployed in your city," he said. "They'll be rioting in the streets, and you'll be out of power."

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Time to Get Tough</h2>
O'Leary expressed hope that the future administration would address the problem head-on. He underscored the importance of a hard-line approach, saying, "You gotta be hard core. [President Xi] only understands the stick. That's all he understands."
O'Leary's comments reflected his belief that the U.S. has been too lenient with China for far too long. He blamed previous administrations – Democratic and Republican – for continuing this scenario. "When there's a Democrat in the White House, they go right along," he said, pointing to a history of inaction.

Here's How Much You Would Have Made Owning Travelers Companies Stock In The Last 20 Years

The U.S. Treasury Department announced on Monday it was targeted by a Chinese state-sponsored hacking group that gained unauthorized access to government workstations and unclassified documents. This revelation, detailed in a letter reviewed <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/12/30/treasury-hack-china-national-security/">by</a>&nbsp;The Washington Post, highlights significant vulnerabilities in federal cybersecurity infrastructure.
The breach was discovered on Dec. 8, when BeyondTrust, a third-party software provider, notified the department that a hacker had exploited a security key. This key enabled the intruder to bypass critical security protocols and infiltrate Treasury Department office workstations, gaining access to sensitive but unclassified documents stored on them. The Treasury Department subsequently classified the incident as a &#8220;major incident,&#8221; aligning with its policy of treating nation-state cyber intrusions as significant threats.
Treasury officials are working with law enforcement and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), a Treasury spokesperson said in a <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/12/30/investing/china-hackers-treasury-workstations/index.html">statement to</a> CNN, and that the compromised service has been taken offline.
"There is no evidence indicating the threat actor has continued access to Treasury systems or information," the Treasury spokesperson said, per CNN.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/12/42643821/biden-administration-initiates-trade-probe-on-chinese-legacy-chips">Biden Administration Initiates Trade Probe On Chinese &#8216;Legacy&#8217; Chips</a>
The hack underscores escalating cyber threats from foreign actors, particularly China, which has been implicated in several high-profile cyber intrusions targeting U.S. government and private sector systems. 
The breach also raises questions about the reliance on third-party software providers for critical operations and the adequacy of existing security protocols. Experts warn that such intrusions could potentially compromise sensitive government data and disrupt essential services, underscoring the need for robust cybersecurity strategies and increased investments in digital defense mechanisms.

독일은 이번 주 금요일 유럽연합이 제안한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40810974/us-ally-urges-eu-to-reconsider-tariffs-on-chinese-evs-we-dont-need-another-war" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">중국 전기 자동차에 대한 관세에 반대표를 던질 예정</a>이다. 이 결정은 올라프 숄츠 독일 총리에 대한 업계 리더들의 상당한 압력이 있은 후에 나온 것이다.
무슨 일이 (What Happened): 독일은 7월에 유럽연합 집행위원회의 세금 제안에 대한 비구속 투표에서 이전에 기권한 바 있다. 이 집행위원회의 계획은 15개 EU 회원국의 65% 인구를 대표하는 과반수의 지지가 필요하다고 로이터가 보도했다.
프랑스, 그리스, 이탈리아 그리고 폴란드가 관세 부과에 찬성하고 있어 이 조치를 추진할 수 있다.
집행위원회는 관세가 저렴한 대출과 원자재 지원과 같은 보조금을 반대하기 위해 필요하다고 주장하며, 이는 중국 제조업체들을 배제하기 위한 것이 아니라 공정한 경쟁의 장을 마련하기 위한 것이라고 강조했다.
그러나 중국에서 상당한 매출을 올리는 독일 자동차 제조사들은 보복 조치와 잠재적인 무역 갈등에 대한 우려로 인해 세금에 반대한다.
영향력 있는 독일 노동조합 이게메탈(IG Metall)과 주요 자동차 제조사들의 직원 대표들이 관세에 반대하는 공동 성명을 발표하며, &#8220;관세는 잘못된 접근 방식이며, 유럽 자동차 산업의 경쟁력을 향상시키지 않는다&#8221;고 밝혔다.
테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)는 베를린 근처의 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39640029/teslas-giga-berlin-expansion-gets-environmental-authority-approval-after-chancellor-scholz-voiced-ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">기가팩토리 확장을 위한 임시 승인</a>을 독일 당국으로부터 받았으며, 이는 테슬라의 유럽 전기차 시장 내 입지 강화의 핵심적인 움직임이다.
독일 자동차 산업 협회(VDA)에 따르면, 2023년 독일에서 127만 대의 배터리 전기차와 플러그인 하이브리드 차량이 생산되어, 중국에 이어 세계에서 두 번째로 큰 전기차 생산국이 되었다.
비록 중국이 글로벌 전기차 생산을 주도하고 있지만, 대부분의 차량이 국내에서 판매되는 반면, 독일 전기차의 76%는 수출된다는 점에서 독일은 국제 전기차 시장에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다.
독일의 자동차 제조사들은 엔지니어링 우수성으로 유명하며, 폭스바겐(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>), 메르세데스-벤츠 그룹(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBGAF#OTC">MBGAF</a>), 바이에리셰 모터렌 베르케 AG(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>)와 같은 브랜드들이 있다.
참고: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41161763/european-telecom-giants-threaten-legal-action-against-elon-musks-starlink-over-potential-fcc-rule-ch?itm_source=parsely-api" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">유럽 통신사들이 일론 머스크의 스타링크에 대한 법적 조치를 위협하는 이유는 FCC 규칙 변경 가능성 때문</a>
왜 중요하나요 (Why It Matters): 유럽연합의 중국 전기차에 대한 관세 결정은 국제 무역에 잠재적인 파급 효과를 미치는 논란이 많은 문제이다. EU는 저렴한 중국 전기차의 유입으로부터 자국 자동차 산업을 보호하고자 하며, 이는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41143690/european-tariffs-on-chinas-ev-makers-could-backfire">2023년 EU 전체 전기차 수입의 54%</a>를 차지했다.
하지만 이러한 보호무역주의적 태도는 중국과의 무역 전쟁으로 번질 수 있으며, EU의 수출 의존 기업과 전기차 목표를 위태롭게 할 수 있다.
중국은 이미 캐나다가 부과한 유사한 관세에 대해 세계무역기구(WTO)에 접근하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40914629/china-warns-eu-tariffs-on-evs-will-harm-trade-with-germany">무역 긴장이 고조될 가능성</a>을 강조했다. 중국 상무부 장관은 EU의 세금이 무역, 특히 독일과의 무역에 심각한 혼란을 초래할 수 있다고 경고했다.
또한 스페인의 총리 페드로 산체스는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40810974/us-ally-urges-eu-to-reconsider-tariffs-on-chinese-evs-we-dont-need-another-war">EU의 입장 재평가</a>를 촉구하며, 추가적인 무역 분쟁을 피하기 위한 타협의 필요성을 강조했다.

미국 주식이 반등하여 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40425259/us-economic-data-eases-rush-for-large-interest-rate-cuts-stocks-mark-strongest-weekly-gains-in-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">한 주를 더 강하게 마무리</a>했지만 펀더멘털 약세가 계속해서 걸림돌이 되면서 전기 자동차(EV) 주식은 시장 전체의 낙관론과 일치하지 않았다. 시장 리더인 테슬라(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>)는 거대 기업들과 함께 상승하면서 지난주에 더 높게 마감했다.
전기차 업계에서 벌어진 주간 주요 이슈들:
테슬라의 고비: 일론 머스크가 이끄는 이 회사는 모든 지역에서 시장 점유율이 하락하는 것을 목격했으며 북미 지역에서 약세가 더욱 심각하다고 금요일 발표된 메모에서 한 약세 분석가가 말했다. 테슬라를 목표 가격 120달러로 언더퍼폼(Underperform)으로 평가한 번스타인(Bernstein)의 토니 사코나기(Tony Sacconaghi)는 테슬라의 북미 시장 점유율이 2020년 하반기 77%에서 2024년 상반기에는 48%로 여전히 선두를 달리고 있다고 말했다.
"우리는 테슬라가 2026년과 2027년에만 가능한, 새롭고 저렴한 가격의 제품을 출시할 때까지 테슬라가 점유율을 회복하거나 실질적으로 성장할 수 있을 것이라고 믿지 않는다. 그리고 이 회사의 가치 평가가 펀더멘털 점점 더 멀어지고 있다고 생각한다,&#8221;고 그가 말했다.
한편 베어드(Baird)의 벤 칼로(Ben Kallo)를 포함한 다른 사람들은 테슬라의 보조 사업들에 초점을 돌렸다고 테슬라라티(Teslarati)가 <a href="https://www.teslarati.com/baird-highlights-tesla-energy-hidden-potential/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">보도</a>했다. 칼로는 테슬라 에너지(Tesla Energy)를 &#8220;광범위한 비즈니스 측면에서 가장 주목받는 회사 중 하나&#8221;라고 부르며 회사의 통합 가치로 주당 약 41달러의 가치가 있다고 말했다.
테슬라는 JD 파워(Power)의 설문 조사에서 전체 고객 만족도 1,000점 만점에 731점을 획득하여 DC 급속 충전기 브랜드 중 1위에 올랐으며, 유일하게 세그먼트 평균 664점 이상을 차지했다.
루시드, 테슬라의 위협 일축: 럭셔리 EV 제조업체인 루시드 그룹(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LCID#NASDAQ">LCID</a>)는 아직 생산 및 판매 측면에서 의미 있는 영향을 미치지 못하고 있다. 그러나 CEO인 피터 롤린슨(Peter Rawlinson)은 캘리포니아주 뉴어크에 본사를 둔 이 회사가 기술에 관한 한 훨씬 우수하다고 말했다. 링크드인 게시물에서 루시드의 CEO는 회사가 최근 발표한 새로운 루시드 에어 퓨어(Lucid Air Pure)가 킬로와트시당 5마일, 휘발유 환산 시 갤런당 146마일의 주행 거리를 달성했다고 밝혔다.
롤린슨은 폭스바겐 그룹(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) 소유의 포르쉐 타이칸(Porsche Taycan), 메르세데스-벤츠 그룹(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBGAF#OTC">MBGAF</a>)의 EQS 및 테슬라 모델 S를 가장 가까운 경쟁자라고 부르며 오늘날의 루시드 에어 퓨어와 경쟁하려면 수년이 걸릴 것이라고 말했다.

리비안, 아마존 EDV 생산 중단: 리비안 오토모티브(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIVN#NASDAQ">RIVN</a>)의 주가는 금요일 로이터 통신이 이 회사가 부품 부족으로 인해 아마존에 공급하는 전기 배송 밴의 생산을 일시적으로 중단했다고 보도한 후 하락세를 보였다. "부품 부족으로 인해 전기 배송 밴(EDV) 생산이 일시적으로 영향을 받았다. 우리는 놓친 생산을 모두 복구할 것으로 기대한다"고 회사 대변인이 말했다.
포드, GM의 리콜: EV로 전환하고 있는 기존 자동차 제조업체들은 지난주 리콜과 관련된 부정적인 헤드라인을 맞았다. 포드 자동차(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>)는 전면 유리 와이퍼가 고장날 수 있다는 우려로 순수 전기 머스탱 마하(Mustang Mach)-E SUV를 포함한 37,371대의 차량을 리콜했다. 미국 도로교통안전국(NHTSA)은 포드 딜러들이 필요에 따라 앞유리 와이퍼 모터를 무료로 검사하고 교체할 것이라고 밝혔다. 한편 제너럴 모터스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>)는 미국에서 2023~2024년형 캐딜락 리릭(Cadillac Lyriq) 4륜 구동 전기 SUV 21,469대를 리콜했다. 예상치 못한 잠김 방지 브레이크 시스템 작동에 대한 우려를 해소하고, OTA(Over-The-Air) 업데이트를 통해 문제를 해결할 예정이다.
카누, 비용 절약으로 이익 확대: 라이프스타일 EV 제조업체인 카누(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOEV#NASDAQ">GOEV</a>)는 예상보다 적은 손실을 보인 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40419055/whats-going-on-with-rivian-automotive-shares-today">2분기 결과</a>를 발표했다. 영업비용도 33% 감소해 전 분기와 전년 동기 대비 적자 폭도 축소됐다. 1년 전 매출이 없었던 것과 달리 회사는 해당 분기에 65만 달러의 매출을 기록했다. 분기별 총 현금 유출은 전년 대비 약 49%, 즉 3,900만 달러 감소했다.
이 EV 스타트업은 이전의 현금 흐름 지침을 반복하고 2024년 하반기 조정 EBITA 손실을 1억 2천만~1억 4천만 달러로 예측했다.
<a href="https://benzinga.grsm.io/lxquj26b2sag">벤징가 프로 데이터</a>에 따르면 KraneShares Electric Vehicles and Future Mobility Index ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KARS#NYSE">KARS</a>)는 금요일 0.44% 상승한 18.30달러에 마감했다. 지난주 이 ETF는 0.77% 상승했다.

한국 정부는 자동차 제조사들에 전기차(EV)에 사용되는 배터리 브랜드를 공개하도록 의무화하는 방안을 검토 중이다. 이는 최근 전기차 화재 사고로 인해 차량의 안전에 대한 소비자의 우려가 높아진 데 따른 것이다.
사건의 경과 (What Happened): 8월 1일 주차된 한 메르세데스-벤츠 EV에서 화재가 발생해 월요일 긴급 회의가 열렸다. 진화하는 데 8시간이 걸린 이 화재는 차량 140여 대를 파손시켰고, 해당 아파트 주민들이 대피해야 했다.
환경부 차관 주재로 국토교통부, 산업부, 소방청 등이 참석한 가운데 정부 관계자들이 회의를 열었다. 정부는 곧 새로운 규정을 발표할 것으로 예상된다고 로이터 통신이 월요일 보도했다.
국토부 관계자들은 화요일 현대자동차그룹(OTC:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/hymtf" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for HYMTF" data-google-interstitial="false">HYMTF</a>), 한국 메르세데스벤츠(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBGAF#OTC">MBGAF</a>), 폭스바겐그룹 한국(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>) 등 자동차 제조사들과 만나 전기차에 사용되는 배터리 브랜드를 공개하는 방안을 논의할 예정이다.
이번 불에 탄 차량의 이미지는 특히 많은 사람들이 지하 주차장이 있는 아파트에 거주하는 한국에서 EV 안전에 대한 소비자의 두려움을 불러일으켰다.
이달 초에는 한국 제조사 SK온의 배터리를 장착한 기아차의 전기 크로스오버 EV6도 주차장에서 불이 붙었다.
서울시 소방재난본부에 따르면 2013년부터 2022년까지 국내 지하주차장에서 발생한 화재는 1,399건으로, 이 중 차량 화재가 43.7%를 차지했다. 이러한 차량 화재의 53%는 전기에 의해 발생한 것이다.
지난주 조선일보는 한국이 전기차 제조사들에게 자동차 배터리 브랜드 공개를 요구하는 방안을 검토하고 있다고 보도했다. 현재 자동차 제조사들은 배터리에 대한 제한된 세부 정보만 제공하면 되며 제조사 이름을 밝힐 필요는 없다.
왜 중요한가 (Why It Matters): 한국 국내 전기차 시장은 꾸준히 성장해왔다. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39268925/cant-catch-tesla-yet-but-south-koreas-hyundai-and-kia-gain-ground-with-record-high-ev-market-share-i">현대자동차</a>와 기아자동차는 최근 미국 전기차 시장에서 최대 점유율을 확보했다. 또한 지리 자동차(<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39646620/chinas-geely-targets-south-korea-for-premium-ev-debut-by-2026-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-google-interstitial="false">Geely Automobile</a>)은 2026년까지 프리미엄 EV로 한국 시장에 진출할 계획이다. 이 제안된 규정은 이러한 자동차 제조업체들의 EV 전략과 소비자 신뢰에 영향을 미칠 수 있다.
