Physical-backed ETFs, which are transparent and have clear management mechanisms but incur storage costs and potential liquidity risks [6]. 2. Non-physical-backed ETFs, which invest in related futures contracts and derivatives, covering various commodities like energy and agricultural products [6][7]. Group 2: Classification of Commodity ETFs - Commodity ETFs can be classified based on their usage direction: 1. Precious metals, primarily gold and silver, dominate the commodity ETF market, with gold ETFs accounting for over 90% of the total scale [8]. 2.

Agricultural ETFs, such as soybean meal ETFs, are limited in the domestic market, indicating a need for more diverse products [8]. 4. Industrial metals ETFs, which include copper and aluminum, are also scarce, with only a few products available [8]. Group 3: Economic Relevance and Investment Considerations - Commodity prices are highly correlated with inflation indicators and are crucial for economic development; commodity ETFs can hedge against inflation, with gold being a primary choice [9]. - A diversified combination of different commodity ETFs can mitigate risks associated with single commodity price fluctuations and adapt to market changes across various economic cycles [9]. - Despite their benefits, commodity ETFs present higher investment difficulties compared to traditional stock and bond products, requiring substantial investment experience and awareness of unique risks [9].

Core Viewpoint - April is a critical observation period for fundamental and policy changes, with key focuses on potential risks of fundamental fluctuations, the marginal easing of central bank attitudes, and the further developments following the implementation of tariffs by the Trump administration [1] Macro: Economic Cycle Position and State - The current Chinese economy exhibits three significant characteristics: 1. The phase of maximum downward pressure has likely passed, with the inventory cycle indicating that 2022-2023 was the most challenging period, and the low point of this cycle is expected to be at the end of 2023 to early 2024 [2] 2. Moving away from the peak of downward pressure does not imply a rapid rebound, as recent cycles indicate that the economy remains in a state of fluctuation [2] 3. Short-term economic recovery faces obstacles due to external trade pressures and slow recovery in real estate investment and consumption [2] Policy: Important Observation Window for Central Bank Attitude - April serves as a crucial observation window for the central bank's stance, focusing on liquidity management and potential hawkish signals, especially in light of significant bond issuance pressure [3] - The speed and proportion of government bond issuance in April will be vital for determining economic conditions in the second quarter [3] Overseas: Subtle Changes in Sentiment - The overall performance of the U.S. economy shows marginal changes, with a slight increase in unemployment and resilient labor market conditions, while retail sales have improved from negative growth [4] - Investor sentiment is changing rapidly, highlighting the uncertainty surrounding Trump’s policies [4] Major Asset Strategy Judgments - A-shares are experiencing a style switch, driven by clearer fundamental outlines and cyclical changes in market sentiment, leading to a shift in market style [5] - Bond market rates are expected to remain volatile, with the central bank's liquidity stance influencing bond yields [6] - Commodity prices, particularly copper and gold, are shifting focus back to fundamentals as tariff expectations have been priced in [7]

Group 1: Asset Performance - As of March 31, 2025, the ranking of major asset classes is gold > LME copper > crude oil > Hang Seng Index > 0 > CSI 300 > China bond > Euro index > Hang Seng Tech > US dollar > Nikkei > Dow Jones > NASDAQ [1][12]. - Gold reached a new high in March, with a YTD increase of 19.3% and a maximum drawdown of only 3%, indicating the best risk-reward ratio among major assets [1][12]. - The global stock indices continued a "risk-off" sentiment, with the US stock market experiencing a significant increase in the fear index, while the Chinese stock market showed a relatively strong performance [1][12][18]. Group 2: Macro Trading Themes - The macro trading themes in March 2025 revolve around four core clues: the gradual confirmation of economic recovery, uncertainty in external tariffs, a continued "risk-off" sentiment in global risk assets, and heightened risk aversion leading to strong performance in gold and silver [2][62]. - The economic foundation is slowly confirming an upward trend, with cyclical assets and interest rate levels generally rising [2][62].

Group 4: Future Drivers for Equity Assets - Upcoming economic data for the first quarter and more corporate earnings reports are expected to provide a verification period for macro and micro fundamentals, with a significant impact anticipated from the technology sector [4][96]. - The implementation of "reciprocal tariffs" in April is expected to clarify economic impacts, while policy measures are likely to continue to heat up, providing a favorable window for potential interest rate cuts [4][96][97]. Group 5: Timing Signals - The "M1-BCI-PPI timing system" indicates an improvement in timing signals for the CSI 300 index from +0.169 to +0.353 for the period from mid-April to mid-May 2025, suggesting a positive outlook for equity assets [5][100]. - The stock-bond ratio has returned to a more normalized range, indicating that the previous extreme safety margins in the stock market have been consumed, and future performance will be more critical [6][9].
