Macro - The July CPI data indicates that the transmission of tariffs on core goods inflation remains slow, reinforcing market expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates in September. However, the current market's expectation of three rate cuts this year may be overly optimistic, as immigration and tariff policies will continue to impact inflation in the second half of the year [2][5]. - In July, the US CPI year-on-year was 2.7% (previous value 2.7%, market expectation 2.8%). The core CPI increased by 0.2 percentage points to 3.1%. The month-on-month CPI growth rate fell by 0.1 percentage points to 0.2% (market expectation 0.2%), while the core CPI month-on-month was 0.3% (previous value 0.2%), in line with market expectations [3][16]. Financial Engineering - A multi-factor model suitable for the CSI 300 index component stocks, combined with a small-cap high-growth satellite strategy, can stabilize and improve the performance of the CSI 300 enhanced strategy.

The backtesting results show that the model's stock selection robustness for internal components is superior to that of the all-A multi-factor model [6][7].
