Strategy - The recent underperformance of Hong Kong stocks is attributed to liquidity issues (rising Hibor), downward revisions in earnings, and low AH premium. The market has not formed an effective breakthrough despite previous upward movements, with a baseline target of 24,000 and an optimistic target of 25,000-26,000 remaining unchanged due to insufficient support from overall and structural analysis [5][7]. Macroeconomy - The stock market is showing improvement despite ongoing economic downward pressure. The report suggests that understanding the financial cycle can provide better insights into the stock market's positive performance amid economic challenges. Key differences between stock market rebounds following financial versus economic cycle adjustments are highlighted, including the need for fiscal stimulus to enhance ROE during financial cycle adjustments [9][11]. Macroeconomy - Powell's recent speech at the Jackson Hole meeting is interpreted as a "dovish" signal, but it does not provide strong guidance on the sustainability or extent of interest rate cuts. The speech emphasizes the Fed's response function, indicating that if employment risks outweigh inflation, rate cuts may occur. However, if inflation risks surpass employment concerns, the Fed may halt rate cuts, suggesting challenges for monetary policy amid conflicting employment and inflation targets [9][11]. Macroeconomy - The A-share market has shown a significant turnaround since 2025, with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a nearly 10-year high. However, the underlying economic fundamentals have not improved significantly, leading to a divergence between economic stability and market enthusiasm. The report analyzes the root causes of the current bull market, emphasizing that capital inflows are not the sole driver of market performance [11][13]. Strategy - The recent increase in market activity and inflow of new capital is partly due to the initial signs of residents moving their deposits, driven by the attractiveness of A-shares amid an "asset shortage" environment. This trend is expected to continue, with the potential for increased trading volume and short-term volatility, but it is not anticipated to affect the medium-term market trajectory [13].
