Report Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Report Core Viewpoints - In October, the escalation of Sino-US trade frictions led to increased volatility in global risk assets. The market is waiting for the implementation of tariffs, but the impact may be controllable. After the Sino-US high - level video call on October 18th to restart consultations and the expected APEC summit at the end of October, the short - term emotional pressure on policy gaming may ease, but potential risks such as the results of Sino - US economic and trade consultations and the pressure on China's economic data need attention. The Fed may cut interest rates by 25BP in October, significantly alleviating the inverted Sino - US interest rate spread and opening up room for further loosening of China's monetary policy [2][10][85]. - The domestic economic recovery momentum is weak. Consumption and exports may face pressure. The National Day holiday consumption data shows "volume increase but price slowdown", indicating weak consumer willingness, and the export growth rate in Q4 this year may face pressure [10]. - The current bond market has prominent allocation value, and bond yields may fluctuate downward. The report is bullish on the bond market in October. Considering the domestic fundamentals and external environment, the domestic policy interest rate may be cut by 10 - 20BP in Q4. The preferred bonds for attack are 10Y China Development Bank bonds, 30Y treasury bonds, and 5Y capital bonds. It is predicted that the yield of 10Y treasury bonds will return to around 1.65%, 30Y treasury bonds to 1.9%, and 5Y large - bank secondary capital bonds to 1.9% [4][11][85]. Summary by Directory 1.
