Group 1 - The core market driver is the confirmation of the Trump trade, leading to a collective adjustment in risk assets, with only the US dollar index rising. Key risk points include the possibility of not lowering interest rates, as indicated by Powell's hawkish remarks and a 53% probability of a rate hike by the Bank of Japan on December 19. The Trump trade is expected to continue until the first quarter of 2025, providing buying opportunities due to normal pullbacks from excessive concentration in gains.

This week, Japan saw a net inflow of $800 million according to EPFR [24][25] Group 2 - In the A-share market, there was a net outflow of $500 million from northbound investments, while there was continued inflow into Hong Kong stocks.

Domestic public funds began to slightly bottom-fish on November 12, starting to replenish positions sold on October 8. The second round of B rebound is mainly driven by high-leverage investors, and if financing buying intensity declines, the profit-making effect will decrease, leading to reduced trading volume. The support level to watch is 3,250, and if there is a rebound next week, attention should be paid to whether the upper level of 3,409 can be broken [26][27] - The report is bullish on industrial manufacturing, materials, discretionary consumption, staple consumption (rebound), energy (rebound), and pharmaceuticals (rebound) for November.
