Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - A-share major indices rose significantly this week, with the ChiNext Index up over 5% and the STAR 50 up over 10%. The four stock index futures also increased collectively, and the performance of large and small-cap stocks was relatively balanced. The market trading activity continued to rise compared to last week, with the trading volume of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets remaining at the two-trillion level, and the trading amount of northbound funds exceeding one trillion for five consecutive weeks [5][97]. - Domestically, in terms of economic fundamentals, the growth rates of industrial added value, fixed asset investment, and social retail sales of above-scale industries in July all declined compared to the previous values, and the real estate market also showed an accelerated decline. Previously announced inflation data improved month-on-month under the combined effect of seasonal effects and industrial policies. In terms of financial data, the M2 - M1 gap continued to narrow in July, indicating that residents are gradually shifting from excess savings to consumption. At the individual stock level, the net profit growth rate of all A-shares has increased compared to the first quarter, and the profit performance of the four stock index futures has been differentiated. In terms of the capital side, northbound funds remained active in trading, and the margin trading balance continued to climb [97]. - Overall, this week was a macro data vacuum period in China, and the market focused on the disclosure of the semi-annual reports of listed companies. In the current low-interest rate environment, the movement of residents' deposits has injected liquidity into the market, and the previous policies for the entry of medium and long-term funds have also promoted the optimization of the A-share investment structure. In addition, due to the relatively high valuation of the US stock market, A-shares with more reasonable valuations have continuously attracted foreign capital inflows. Finally, due to the poor performance of previous economic data, the market still expects policy intensification. The strategy is to recommend light - position buying on dips [97]. 3.
