Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market's main line rotates rapidly, and stock index futures may fluctuate. Attention should be paid to the risk of correction. The follow - up trend needs to closely monitor the change in trading volume. If the trading volume remains at the current relatively high level, the index is still expected to continue to expand upward after fully digesting floating chips; otherwise, if the volume significantly shrinks, short - term correction risk should be vigilant. The bond market sentiment has been frustrated, and the future sustainability of the rebound in the manufacturing PMI in December remains to be observed. In 2026, as the starting year of the 14th Five - Year Plan, the pressure and necessity for stable growth are still relatively large, and it is highly likely that policies will be implemented at the beginning of the year to support the economy [9][11] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Financial Futures Strategy Recommendations Stock Index Strategy Recommendations - Stock index trend review: The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.09% to close at 3968.84 points.

The rebound in the manufacturing PMI in December has strong certainty at the structural level but faces uncertainty at the aggregate level.

The rebound in the manufacturing PMI in December exceeded expectations, and its future sustainability remains to be observed. In 2026, as the starting year of the 14th Five - Year Plan, the pressure and necessity for stable growth are still relatively large. Whether it is the remaining fiscal resources at the end of the year or the room for monetary easing, it indicates that it is highly likely that policies will be implemented at the beginning of the year to support the economy. Attention should be paid to the stock - bond seesaw, whether the central bank's scale of treasury bond trading will further expand, and the implementation rhythm of monetary policies after the new year [11] - Technical analysis: The MACD indicator shows that the T main contract may fluctuate [11] - Strategy outlook: Fluctuating operation [11] Key Data Tracking PMI - In December, the manufacturing PMI rebounded to 50.1%, returning above the boom - bust line after 8 months [18] - It was significantly stronger than the seasonal trend. In previous Decembers, the manufacturing PMI decreased by an average of 0.3 pct compared with November, while it increased by 0.9 pct this month [18] - The PMI of high - tech manufacturing industries rebounded significantly by 2.4 pct to 52.5%, indicating a good growth trend in the industry [18] - Large and medium - sized enterprises led the improvement. Although the PMI of small enterprises declined, large and medium - sized enterprises' PMIs both rebounded significantly [18] CPI - In November, the year - on - year increase in CPI strengthened, and the month - on - month PPI remained positive, which was the result of the combined effects of seasonal factors, low - base effects, and "anti - involution" [21] - It is worth noting that the year - on - year CPI has fluctuated below 1% for 33 consecutive months, and the year - on - year PPI has been negative for 38 consecutive months, indicating that domestic demand is still relatively weak [21] - At the end of the year and during the Spring Festival, driven by seasonal effects and rising gold prices, the year - on - year CPI is expected to continue to fluctuate upward [21] - Since November 2024, the year - on - year base of PPI has entered a downward range again. Affected by low - base effects and the orderly progress of "anti - involution", the year - on - year PPI is also expected to rebound [21] Import and Export - In November, China's exports were $330.35 billion, imports were $218.67 billion, and the trade surplus was $111.68 billion [23] - In terms of representative export commodities, labor - intensive products, mechanical and electrical products, and high - tech products drove the overall export in November by - 1.33%, 5.81%, and 2.01% respectively, with the driving rates increasing by 1.03 pp, 5.06 pp, and 1.55 pp respectively compared with the previous month [23] - The strengthening of exports to the EU, Africa, and Latin America drove the year - on - year increase in exports this month, showing a relatively strong performance. Since November 9th, the year - on - year growth rates of global and US imports and China's container bookings to the US have continued to decline week by week, indicating a high probability of pressure on exports in December [24] Industrial Added Value - In November, the year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value dropped to 4.8%, and the service industry production index dropped to 4.2%. The production - end data has declined for two consecutive months [25] - There are two reasons for the weakening of industrial added value. First, "anti - involution" has begun to suppress the output of key industries. In November, the year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value in the automobile industry dropped by 4.9 pct to 11.9%, the year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value in the steel industry dropped by 0.5 pct to 0.9%, and the chemical industry dropped by 0.4 pct to 6.7%. In terms of microscopic output, the year - on - year output of automobiles, ethylene, and steel also weakened. Second, after the policy took effect on September 24th last year, the production increase established a relatively high base. From the perspective of the two - year compound growth rate, the year - on - year growth rate of industrial added value in November was basically the same as that in October [28] Fixed - Asset Investment - From January to November, the year - on - year growth rate of fixed - asset investment dropped by 2.6%. It is estimated that the year - on - year growth rate of fixed - asset investment in November was - 11.1%, a slight increase compared with October [31] - By type, the year - on - year growth rate of private investment rebounded to - 12.9%, and the year - on - year growth rate of public investment continued to drop to - 8.9% [31] - By expenditure direction, it is estimated that the year - on - year growth rates of construction and installation projects/equipment and tool purchases in November dropped to - 16.1% and 6.3% respectively, and the year - on - year growth rate of other expenses rebounded slightly to - 13.8% [31] - By the three major categories, the year - on - year growth rates of infrastructure and real estate investment are still declining at a low level, but manufacturing investment has a slight rebound [31] Social Retail - In November, the year - on - year growth rate of social retail sales dropped to 1.3%, lower than market expectations and the weakest since 2023 [34] - There are three factors for the weakening of social retail sales in November. First, after the weakening of national subsidy funds, the weakening of durable - goods consumption is the main drag. In November, the year - on - year growth rate of optional consumption dropped to - 10%, and among them, automobiles and home appliances cumulatively dragged down the year - on - year growth rate of social retail sales in that month by 1.2 pct. Second, the overall weak performance of the "Double Eleven" sales also dragged down the social retail sales for the whole month. In November, the online retail sales of physical goods dropped by 3.3 pct to 1.5%, and the two - year compound year - on - year growth rate turned negative for the first time this year. Third, the consumption in the post - real - estate cycle continued to be weak. Restricted by the long - term weak real - estate sales, the year - on - year growth rates of social retail sales of building materials and furniture both dropped and turned negative [34] Social Financing - In November, the new social financing was 2.5 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 0.2 trillion yuan. Corporate bonds and non - standard financing were the main supports, while government bonds and credit were the main drags [37] - Bills continued to boost the volume, and the year - on - year increase in medium - and long - term loans for residents and enterprises continued to be less than the previous year [37] - In November, the year - on - year growth rate of social financing remained flat at 8.5%, and the growth rate of credit in the social financing caliber remained flat at 6.3% [37] - The growth rates of M1 and M2 declined. Attention should be paid to the process of deposit currentization in the future [37]
