Market Review - Global stock indices showed mixed performance, with Brazil and China seeing gains while Japan, South Korea, and the US Nasdaq index led the declines. A-shares experienced a volatile week, with the Shanghai Composite Index fluctuating around the 4000-point mark, reflecting a return to a "barbell structure" in market style, where micro-cap stocks and dividend indices outperformed. Key sectors leading the gains included power equipment, coal, oil and petrochemicals, steel, and chemicals, while beauty care, computers, and pharmaceuticals lagged behind [1][2][4]. Market Outlook - November is expected to favor "small-cap + thematic investments" due to a historical trend where small-cap stocks have a higher probability of rising compared to large-cap stocks during this month. This phenomenon is attributed to A-shares being in a performance and macro event "vacuum period," leading to increased activity in thematic investments based on next year's performance expectations and industry trends. The recent margin trading volume has remained above 10% of A-share turnover, indicating sustained market enthusiasm and relatively loose micro liquidity [2][3][4]. Domestic Factors - A-shares are currently in a performance and macro event "vacuum period," with a three-month earnings vacuum and reduced necessity for incremental policy measures despite a slight slowdown in economic growth. The upcoming key macro events include the December Politburo meeting and the Central Economic Work Conference, which will set the tone for next year. The market's trading heat remains high, as evidenced by a net inflow of 11.6 billion yuan in financing transactions over the past three weeks, with margin trading accounting for over 10% of A-share turnover [3][4][5]. Style and Sector Allocation - In terms of market style, small-cap stocks are expected to outperform in November, with historical data from 2016-2024 showing that the China 2000 and China 1000 indices had an 80% probability of rising, compared to 60% and 50% for the CSI 300 and SSE 50 indices, respectively. This trend is linked to the earnings vacuum period in A-shares. Additionally, public funds have accelerated their focus on TMT sectors, which may lead to a quicker rotation in market styles [4][5]. Sector Focus - The report suggests focusing on themes related to the "14th Five-Year Plan," such as AI applications, robotics, energy storage, domestic substitution, new materials, and future industries. It also highlights sectors benefiting from the "anti-involution" trend, such as chemicals, and suggests monitoring Hong Kong's innovative pharmaceuticals for signals relevant to A-shares [5].
