Core Viewpoint - The current trend of RMB appreciation is primarily driven by holders of foreign exchange (cross-border capital, foreign trade enterprises), while domestic investors remain relatively cautious, as evidenced by the high "Shanghai gold premium" [1][3]. Group 1: RMB Exchange Rate Dynamics - The RMB exchange rate has experienced two phases: the first phase from April to June was characterized by a collapse in dollar credit, where the US-China interest rate differential had an inverse relationship with the RMB exchange rate; the second phase from July to August saw a return to the significance of the US-China interest rate differential due to expectations of US interest rate cuts [9]. - The RMB exchange rate is currently showing a "three-price divergence," indicating a persistent discrepancy among the "gold purchasing power parity" reflecting domestic expectations, the offshore price reflecting market expectations, and the central bank's middle price reflecting its stance [9]. Group 2: Investor Behavior - Holders of foreign exchange (foreign capital, foreign trade enterprises) are the main drivers of the current RMB appreciation, while currency exchangers (domestic investors) are more cautious about the trend [9]. - Domestic investors, who are currency exchangers, are more concerned with dollar yields and are less sensitive to dollar credit, which is reflected in the high correlation between gold purchasing power parity and US Treasury yields [9]. Group 3: Central Bank's Role - The central bank's management of exchange rate expectations has become crucial, as the pricing logic of the RMB exchange rate is expected to become more complex by 2025, with the US-China interest rate differential no longer being as effective as in previous years [3]. - The central bank has successfully demonstrated expectation management, leading to increased optimism among domestic investors and a breakthrough at the key level of 7.15, with expectations that the offshore price may rise to the range of 7.0-7.1 [3][9].

Macro Analysis - The increase in tariffs has only raised the average U.S. import tax rate by 6.6 percentage points as of June 2024, which is lower than market expectations. The low proportion of taxable goods and changes in import structure are key reasons for this outcome [2][3] - U.S. companies are currently bearing approximately 63% of the tariff costs, while consumers are responsible for less than 40%. This cost distribution may change as inventory is depleted and trade policy uncertainties decrease [3] - If the average U.S. import tax rate rises by 10% within the year, it could push the PCE year-on-year growth rate to 3.1% and the core PCE to 3.4%, assuming stable demand [3] Market Strategy - The Chinese stock market is expected to continue rising, with the index likely to reach new highs. Factors supporting this outlook include accelerated economic transformation, declining risk-free interest rates, and capital market reforms [6][7] - There is an anticipated expansion in market trends, with increased allocations towards mid-cap stocks and undervalued blue-chip stocks.

Core Viewpoint - The recent ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals declaring Trump's tariffs illegal has reignited the tariff debate, while Powell's dovish stance at Jackson Hole has increased the certainty of rate cuts in the medium term, suggesting that liquidity conditions will continue to resonate both domestically and internationally, with industrial and precious metals expected to perform well as the peak demand season approaches [1][2].
