Core Viewpoint - The indoor skiing market in China is emerging as a new real estate category, addressing the supply-demand gap due to a lack of quality snow resources and a growing skiing population, presenting significant investment opportunities for leading indoor ski operators and related industry chain enterprises [2][3]. Market Overview - The skiing market in China has rapidly expanded but remains underdeveloped compared to overseas markets, with a projected ice and snow economy reaching 1.5 trillion yuan by 2030, driven by skiing's higher potential for popularization [2][6]. - The domestic skiing participation rate is only 0.9%, significantly lower than Western Europe (5%-30%), indicating substantial room for growth [2][12]. Market Potential - The current narrow skiing market in China is estimated at approximately 370 billion yuan, with potential to reach 300 billion yuan in the medium to long term [3][23]. - Indoor ski resorts can meet off-season skiing demand at lower costs, positioning them as accelerators for industry growth and investment potential [3][29]. Indoor Ski Resort Characteristics - Successful indoor ski resorts must focus on advantageous locations, large scale, and refined operations, catering primarily to local families and children [3][33]. - The indoor skiing market has seen a compound annual growth rate of 23% since the 2018-2019 fiscal year, with indoor skiing visits reaching 5.63 million by 2024-2025 [29][31]. Competitive Landscape - The indoor skiing sector is characterized by high investment costs and operational leverage, with a focus on year-round operations and customer accessibility [33][34]. - The market is experiencing a concentration trend, with leading operators capturing a larger share, similar to international markets where consolidation is prevalent [37][38]. Future Outlook - The indoor skiing market is expected to grow significantly, with a projected market size of approximately 1,650 billion yuan in the long term [23][29]. - The industry is poised for expansion, supported by favorable policies and the increasing popularity of skiing as a recreational activity [3][39].

Group 1 - The Federal Reserve is expected to restart interest rate cuts in September 2024, with three cuts anticipated in 2024, but no cuts have occurred in 2025 due to various uncertainties [2][4] - Recent U.S. inflation data shows a slight increase, with the August CPI rising to 2.9% year-on-year and core CPI at 3.1%, compared to the previous month's figures of 2.7% and 3.0% respectively [2][4] - Employment data indicates a weaker job market, with only 22,000 jobs added in August, falling short of market expectations, and a significant downward revision of 911,000 jobs in the initial employment statistics from April 2024 to March 2025 [2][3] Group 2 - The Fed's interest rate cuts may alleviate external constraints on China's monetary policy, as China has already implemented two rate cuts since the Fed's current easing cycle began [6] - A weaker U.S. dollar is anticipated as a result of the Fed's cuts, with the dollar to RMB exchange rate declining from approximately 7.3 at the beginning of 2025 to around 7.1 recently, impacting export-oriented companies and those with dollar-denominated debts [6] - The Fed's rate cuts typically lead to a global reallocation of funds, potentially benefiting Chinese assets, especially in the context of a restructuring global monetary system [6] Group 3 - Historical analysis of past Fed rate cut cycles shows that growth-oriented stocks in A-shares and Hong Kong stocks tend to perform well, while dividend-focused stocks lag behind [7] - In the first 11 weeks following the Fed's cuts, non-bank financial sectors in both A-shares and Hong Kong stocks have shown strong performance, while sectors like coal, utilities, and transportation have underperformed [7] - Over a 20-week period, sectors such as computer, electronics, and communication in A-shares, as well as hardware, semiconductors, and environmental protection in Hong Kong stocks, have seen significant gains [7]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the sustainability of the dollar system and the so-called "dollar trap," emphasizing that while the dollar's dominance is being questioned, there are currently no viable alternatives to replace it [2][22]. Group 1: Formation of the "Dollar Trap" - The "dollar trap" is supported by three pillars: the necessity for emerging economies to hold foreign reserves, the unique status of U.S. Treasury bonds as a safe haven, and the lack of alternative safe assets [2][3][12]. - Emerging markets have accumulated significant foreign reserves, with their share rising from 37.5% to 67.2% between 2000 and 2013, driven by the need for self-insurance and currency stability [3][4]. Group 2: Characteristics of the "Dollar Trap" - Emerging countries voluntarily enter the "dollar trap" by accumulating dollar reserves to pursue export-led growth, but they face continuous devaluation risks [18]. - The "dollar trap" leads to significant potential losses for countries holding U.S. debt, as their currencies appreciate against the dollar, and U.S. inflation erodes the real purchasing power of dollar assets [19][20]. Group 3: Current Changes in the "Dollar Trap" - Since 2015, emerging markets have shown improved financial stability and reduced the necessity to accumulate foreign reserves, indicating a shift in their economic models [24]. - The credibility of U.S. Treasury bonds as a safe asset is weakening due to deteriorating economic fundamentals and fiscal discipline in the U.S., raising concerns about the sustainability of U.S. debt [26][27]. - The TINA (There Is No Alternative) framework is being challenged as emerging markets explore alternatives to the dollar, including the yuan, gold, and bitcoin [29][30].

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the establishment of a digital research platform by CICC, aimed at providing efficient, professional, and accurate research services by integrating insights from over 30 specialized teams and covering more than 1800 stocks globally [1].

Strategy - The current market conditions suggest that while A-shares have performed strongly since July, Hong Kong stocks appear stagnant, with the Hang Seng Index hovering around 25,000. Investors are concerned about the rapid rise of A-shares and are looking for opportunities in Hong Kong stocks, but fear underperformance. Increased market volatility and the potential for interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve add to this uncertainty. It is recommended to focus on sectors with high profitability certainty and opportunities reflecting U.S.-China dynamics, such as pharmaceuticals, technology hardware, non-bank financials, and consumer electronics [5][7][9]. Economic Indicators - In August, the U.S. CPI rose by 0.4% month-on-month and 2.9% year-on-year, with core CPI increasing by 0.3% month-on-month and 3.1% year-on-year, aligning with market expectations. Core goods prices, driven by automobiles, saw a year-on-year increase of 1.5%, the highest since May 2023, indicating a shift from deflation to inflation in this sector. The impact of tariffs on prices outside of automobiles has been minimal, suggesting challenges in passing on costs. Service inflation has stabilized, with notable rebounds in airline and hotel prices [7][9]. Market Trends - Since the "924" period last year, the Shanghai Composite Index has experienced a recovery phase, with growth and non-bank sectors showing positive momentum. Although short-term volatility risks remain, the medium-term upward trend of the index is expected to continue. The key to determining the end of this market cycle lies in whether the underlying logic remains intact. If it does, any pullback could present a buying opportunity. The ongoing restructuring of the global monetary order and the strengthening of China's innovation and supply chain advantages suggest further revaluation potential for Chinese assets [9]. Industry Insights - The photovoltaic industry has faced significant operational pressures due to overcapacity and debt, despite some relief from price stabilization efforts in the first half of the year. The necessity for "anti-involution" remains critical, with ongoing efforts from various stakeholders to clarify strategies for addressing these challenges. While the overall environment remains challenging, there is optimism regarding the continued progress of anti-involution measures and the sector's resilience [11].
