长城投研速递：新兴科技有望重回主线

Domestic Macro - The cumulative year-on-year growth rate of profits for industrial enterprises above designated size from January to October is 1.9%, down 0.6 percentage points from 2.4% in January to September. In October, the year-on-year growth rate turned negative at -5.5%, compared to 21.6% in September. This decline is attributed to a high base from the previous year and rising raw material prices under the "anti-involution" trend, coupled with weak demand affecting profit margins [4][5][6] - Industries such as non-ferrous metals, electronic equipment, food, beverages, and automobiles still maintain positive year-on-year growth, while other sectors show negative profit growth. Profit recovery will depend on demand improvement and policy support [4][5] Foreign Macro - The expectation for a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December has risen, with an 86.9% probability of a 25 basis point cut. Even if no cut occurs, its impact on the market is expected to be limited. The U.S. unemployment rate has increased to 4.4% despite a significant rise in non-farm employment in September [5][6] - Federal Reserve officials indicate that a substantial rate cut is necessary for economic development, suggesting a high likelihood of a rate cut in December [5] Bond Market - In the short term, the bond market is expected to maintain a range-bound oscillation due to reduced expectations for interest rate cuts this year. However, with the central bank restarting bond purchases, liquidity is likely to remain loose, leading to a market characterized by structural and speculative opportunities [6][13] - The central bank's net fund withdrawal last week was significant, with a total net withdrawal of 164.2 billion yuan through reverse repos. Despite this, the overall funding situation remains stable due to substantial mid-to-long-term fund injections [6][7] Equity Market - The market style has shifted back to technology growth, with significant gains in sectors such as telecommunications, electronics, and media, while industries like petrochemicals, banking, and coal have seen corrections. The overall market risk appetite has stabilized, leading to a rebound in margin trading activity [14][22] - The Shanghai Composite Index rose by 1.40%, the Shenzhen Component Index by 3.56%, and the ChiNext Index by 4.54% last week, indicating a strong performance in the equity market [14][15] Investment Strategy - Emerging technology is expected to remain a key investment theme, with a focus on undervalued consumer stocks and brokerage firms. The anticipated Federal Reserve rate cut and the need for policy support in response to weak economic data are driving this strategy [23] - The current market conditions may present an opportune moment to position for a spring rally, with potential in sectors such as technology, consumer goods, and non-ferrous metals [23]
