Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - During the two trading days before and after the double festivals (2025.09.29 - 2025.10.10), the market once reached a new high, with upstream resource products leading the rise, and lithium batteries, steel, and military industries taking turns to perform. However, the capital support for the pre - holiday rebound was weaker than before, and the market quickly declined on Friday after a brief post - holiday rebound. Some funds saw the decline as an opportunity to increase positions [11]. - The resurgence of the tariff issue is a continuation of the global tariff war since April. Although the current valuation of the equity market is significantly higher than in April, China's "double - loose" policy is clear, and investors have more experience in dealing with such situations [11]. - The market under the current friction may mainly involve profit - taking of the booming assets since the third quarter. If a style switch occurs, the market's development path depends on specific triggering factors [13]. - The essence of the current upstream resource stock market represented by non - ferrous metals is the switch of the valuation logic of resource stocks from the cycle to DCF with higher cash - flow visibility under the background of supply constraints and geopolitical instability. This logic will continue as long as commodity prices do not continuously decline [4][13]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Weekly Market Observation - **Equity Market Review and Observation** - From 2025.09.29 to 2025.10.10, the market reached a new high, with upstream resource products leading.

This trade conflict is a continuation of the global tariff war since April, and the conflict may escalate and spread to other fields [11]. - The current valuation of the equity market is higher than in April, but China's "double - loose" policy is clear, and investors have more experience in dealing with such situations [11]. - In the third quarter, the market's structural market was extreme, with technology innovation sectors rising significantly and pro - cyclical assets performing poorly. The market's ability to continue to rise depends on whether high - valuation hot sectors can maintain their upward momentum and whether low - valuation traditional pro - cyclical sectors can improve their fundamentals [12]. - The market under the current friction may mainly involve profit - taking of booming assets. If a style switch occurs, the development path depends on specific factors such as economic policies, the slowdown of booming industries, or geopolitical factors [13]. - The demand for energy metals is increasing, and the supply of strategic minor metals is restricted by anti - globalization. The valuation logic of upstream resource stocks represented by non - ferrous metals has switched from the cycle to DCF, and this logic will continue as long as commodity prices do not continuously decline [13]. 3.2 Active Equity Fund Index Performance Tracking - **Performance Statistics** - From 2025.10.09 to 2025.10.10, the Active Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 1.63%, the Value Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 0.09%, the Balanced Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 2.13%, the Growth Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 2.63%, the Pharmaceutical Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 2.66%, the Consumption Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 0.93%, the Technology Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 2.63%, the High - end Manufacturing Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 4.56%, and the Cyclical Stock Fund Preferred Index fell 1.42% [6][14]. - Since its establishment, the Active Stock Fund Preferred Index has recorded an excess return of 13.38%, the Value Stock Fund Preferred Index 4.80%, the Balanced Stock Fund Preferred Index 8.75%, the Growth Stock Fund Preferred Index 13.56%, the Pharmaceutical Stock Fund Preferred Index 19.67%, the Consumption Stock Fund Preferred Index 23.42%, the Technology Stock Fund Preferred Index 20.72%, the High - end Manufacturing Stock Fund Preferred Index - 5.99%, and the Cyclical Stock Fund Preferred Index - 1.99% [6]. - **Index Positioning and Benchmarks** - **Active Stock Fund Preferred Index**: 15 funds are selected each period and equally weighted.

Economic Analysis - The chief economist from Yuekai Securities noted that the increase in import growth, which turned positive in June, has been a key driver for overall trade growth, countering earlier negative trends due to falling commodity prices and insufficient domestic demand [4]. - The article suggests that the current trade tensions differ from previous ones due to the specific targeting of China and the nature of the tariffs, which are seen as retaliatory measures against China's export controls [6][7]. Market Sentiment and Future Outlook - The market's psychological resilience has improved since April, with investors now more optimistic about potential negotiations and outcomes following the recent tariff announcements [8]. - Analysts predict that the fourth quarter will not see significant volatility in trade data, as both sides have clearer demands and are likely to pursue rational resolutions to mitigate trade frictions [8].
