Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - Equity still has allocation value, waiting for the conversion from valuation-driven to earnings-driven [6] - In 2026, the basis central tendency may rise slightly, but the volatility remains relatively high [7] - In 2026, the equity market is expected to shift from valuation-driven to earnings-driven in the benchmark scenario [8] Summary according to the Table of Contents 1. Market Review and Macroeconomic Outlook - **A-share Market Review**: In 2025, major broad-based indices all closed up, with the ChiNext 50 leading with a nearly 60% annual increase. Most sectors in the CITIC primary industry index closed up, with the communication index leading with an over 80% increase. The share of equity ETFs increased, and northbound capital and margin trading funds were active [9][17][24] - **Macroeconomic Outlook**: In 2026, overseas liquidity may remain loose, and Sino-US economic and trade relations are in a phase of relaxation. Domestically, policies will be more precise and targeted, with fiscal policy remaining proactive and monetary policy staying moderately loose. Growth factors are expected to improve, and inflation is expected to rise moderately, driving the PPI to recover and improving corporate profitability [27][28][30] 2. Valuation and Drivers - **Steady Return of Chinese Capital Pricing Power**: The influence of US Treasury yields on A-share valuations is gradually weakening, while the impact of Chinese Treasury yields on the growth style is increasing, indicating a strengthening of the pricing power of Chinese Treasury yields for growth stocks [33][38] - **Current Valuation's Historical Position and Horizontal Comparison**: The PE of the CSI 300 and ChiNext indices is at the 64% and 35% historical quantiles respectively, not in a high range. Compared with global indices, A-shares are not expensive. The "Buffett Index" also suggests that the A-share market still has investment value [42][46][50] - **Dividend Yield and Risk Premium**: There is a "seesaw" relationship between the 10-year Chinese Treasury yield and the dividend yield of the dividend index. Currently, the stock market still has strong allocation cost-effectiveness, and the benchmark scenario for the index's upward drive in 2026 is expected to shift from valuation-driven to earnings-driven [53][59][63] - **Earnings Growth as a Strong Support for Relatively Strong Indices**: Earnings growth supports the relative strength of corresponding indices. In 2025, the earnings and revenue of small-cap and growth-style indices recovered faster, corresponding to the market style of small-cap growth [64][67][70] 3. Investor Structure and Basis Central Tendency Outlook - **2025 Basis Review**: In 2025, the basis central tendency of most futures index varieties continued to decline, with increased volatility in April. The influence of investor structure changes on the basis is significant, with the basis weakening in the first quarter and the basis central tendency of IC and IM contracts being lower than in previous years in the second half of the year [80] - **Changes in the Position of Public Funds in the Market Investor Structure**: Since 2022, the long-hedging power of public funds has gradually emerged and is currently stronger than the short-hedging power [88] - **Impact of Off-exchange Product Hedging on the Futures Index Basis**: The scale of off-exchange derivatives represented by snowball products decreased significantly in 2025, and their hedging impact is weaker than in the past two years. The long-substitution strategy of public funds is gradually emerging, and the relaxation of the futures index position limit of public funds may make them an important variable in observing the futures index investor structure [79][90] 4. Operation Outlook and Response - **Operation Outlook Scenario Analysis and Market Characteristics**: The benchmark scenario for the 2026 market is that the equity market shifts from valuation-driven to earnings-driven. There are also three other scenarios: earnings and valuation double-driven strength, valuation drag on weakness, and double weakness in earnings and valuation with risk warnings [114][118][119] - **Response Strategies under Different Scenarios**: Under the benchmark scenario, consider long-hedging when the basis is relatively weak. In the stronger scenario, reduce short-hedging. In the weaker scenario, lock in lower short-hedging costs. In the double-weak scenario, increase short-hedging [121][122]

Investors should pay attention to supply - demand relationships, production data, and inventory changes for each commodity [2][3][4] Summary by Commodity Cotton & Cotton Yarn - Zhengzhou cotton rose slightly, and the spot sales basis was stable. New cotton production increased this year, but commercial inventory was basically the same year - on - year, and the sales progress was fast, supporting the market.

The new - year contracts, especially the 01 contract, faced less pressure from warehouse receipts. The price difference between needle and broadleaf pulp was narrowing, and the external quotes of both increased. Paper mills' pulp purchases were mainly for immediate needs, and the paper price increase was weak. The market was highly competitive. Operationally, it was advisable to wait and see or conduct short - term operations [7] Logs - The futures price oscillated, and the spot price was stable. The external quote decreased, and the domestic price was weak, with a short - term decrease in arrivals. As of December 12, the daily average outbound volume of 13 ports was 6.46 million cubic meters, a 3% week - on - week decrease.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Gold: ★☆☆ (indicating a bullish bias but with limited operability in the market) [1] - Silver: ★☆☆ (indicating a bullish bias but with limited operability in the market) [1] Report's Core View - This week, US non - farm data verified the economic cooling trajectory. Fed Governor Farrer said monetary policy is in a restrictive range with room for rate cuts, and the employment market suggests the Fed should continue to cut rates, with the interest rate 50 to 100 basis points higher than the neutral rate. Gold has been blocked at record highs in recent days and pulled back. Attention should be paid to whether it can break through and refresh the record high. If the breakthrough is confirmed, the strong performance of precious metals is expected to continue. Tonight, focus on US GPI data and weekly initial jobless claims [1]. - The continuous rally of platinum and palladium on the GZEX, the shift of funds in the precious metals sector, and the prospects of large - scale hydrogen energy application during the "14th Five - Year Plan" period have brought higher premiums to platinum and palladium. With active trading, the market is pricing in the expected supply gap on the fundamental side. Due to the brittle supply and small market size, platinum and palladium are good long - allocation varieties. However, due to the large short - term increase, beware of the short - term multi - killing - multi market caused by funds leaving at high levels. Adopt the idea of long - allocation on pullbacks in the medium term [2]. Other Summaries - The US media reported that if Putin refuses the Russia - Ukraine peace agreement, the US will impose new sanctions on Russia's "shadow fleet", and the White House responded that there is no new decision for now [2]. - The US media reported that the US and Russia will hold talks on the Russia - Ukraine conflict in Miami this weekend [2]. - A joint Fed survey shows that tariffs continue to trouble enterprises, and they expect prices to rise by 4% next year [2]. - According to US media, the Trump administration's recent move to block oil tankers off the Venezuelan coast is the latest manifestation of its "gradual pressure" strategy against Venezuelan President Maduro, aiming to oust Maduro through continuous isolation and squeezing rather than immediate large - scale domestic actions [2].
