Core Viewpoint - The recent market downturn reflects a significant revaluation of previously high-performing sectors, particularly cyclical stocks and the new energy sector, indicating a shift in economic expectations and profitability outlooks [1][2][25]. Group 1: Market Performance - The Shanghai Composite Index closed at 3939.81, down 0.81%, while the Shenzhen Component Index fell 0.92% to 13080.49, and the ChiNext Index dropped 1.16% to 3069.22 [1]. - Over 4100 stocks declined, with nearly 800 experiencing drops exceeding 3%, indicating widespread market weakness [1]. Group 2: Cyclical Stocks Decline - Cyclical sectors such as chemicals, non-ferrous metals, steel, and coal all saw declines of over 3%, with some stocks hitting the daily limit down [1][2]. - The decline in cyclical stocks is linked to a negative feedback loop with commodity prices, as industrial metals and energy prices have also retreated [1][2][14]. Group 3: New Energy and Lithium Battery Sector - The new energy and lithium battery sectors faced significant sell-offs, with stocks like Huasheng Lithium and Haike New Source dropping over 10% [1][2]. - The decline is attributed to high valuations and a shift in market sentiment, as expectations for future growth in electric vehicle penetration and energy storage have been revised downward [6][10]. Group 4: External Market Influences - The downturn in the A-share market is not isolated, as it follows a notable correction in U.S. tech stocks, which has affected global risk appetite [12][13]. - The depreciation of the Chinese yuan and the retreat of foreign capital have further exacerbated the situation, leading to increased selling pressure on high-valuation growth stocks [13][14]. Group 5: Resilient Sectors - Despite the overall market decline, sectors such as AI applications, e-commerce, and certain tech stocks have shown resilience due to low valuations and supportive policies [25][26]. - These sectors are characterized by their potential for growth and innovation, although they face limitations in market capacity and the need for performance validation [25][26]. Group 6: Future Market Outlook - The market is expected to continue its downward trend, with cyclical stocks likely to face further pressure due to ongoing commodity price adjustments and shifting institutional strategies [16][20]. - The new energy and lithium battery sectors are anticipated to undergo a "bubble-popping" process, as high valuations are reassessed in light of competitive pressures and reduced growth expectations [20][21].

Group 1 - The report anticipates a transition of the Chinese economy from a bottoming phase to a recovery phase in 2026, driven by three unexpected demand-side factors: U.S. fiscal expansion, rising exports, and improved real estate supply-demand dynamics [1][21][54] - U.S. fiscal deficit is projected to reach 5.9% in FY 2026, with potential increases to 7.2% if tariff revenues are eliminated, which could lead to a medium-strength recovery starting in Q1 2026 [1][21][25] - The global supply chain reconstruction is expected to boost China's export growth, particularly in machinery and transportation equipment, which have shown significant growth since April 2025 [2][54][58] Group 2 - The real estate market is showing signs of recovery, with an estimated inventory clearance period of approximately 25.3 months as of September 2025, suggesting a potential stabilization in housing prices by the end of 2026 [3][54] - The strategy emphasizes a focus on cyclical sectors before consumer sectors, with particular attention to industries such as chemicals, new energy, and construction materials, which are expected to benefit from the recovery narrative [6][54] - The report highlights that the micro-cap stock market may continue its bullish trend, with an estimated net inflow of approximately 5 billion yuan per month from new private equity quantitative products [7][54]

New social financing was 81.5 billion yuan, 58.08 billion yuan less than the same period last year. Government bond financing slowed down, and credit demand was weak [2][13]. - M1 declined, and the gap between M1 and M2 widened slightly. However, the M1 - M2 gap has been narrowing overall this year, which is an important signal of capital activation and can boost the sentiment of the equity market in the short term [3][25]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Social Financing Data Validates Bond Market Space - **Social Financing Growth Rate and Composition**: The year - on - year growth rate of social financing in October was 8.50%, with the growth rate falling for three consecutive months. New social financing was 81.5 billion yuan, 58.08 billion yuan less than the same period last year. Government bond net financing was 48.93 billion yuan, 56.02 billion yuan less than the same period last year. New RMB loans decreased by 2.01 billion yuan, 31.66 billion yuan more than the same period last year.

The data verifies the uncertainty of the economic recovery. The bond yield has declined recently, and there is still some room for further decline. In 2026, the central bank's monetary policy will continue the "moderately loose" tone. For the bond market, investors are advised to mainly conduct band operations on interest - rate bonds, pay attention to the structural opportunities of green bonds and technology bonds in credit bonds, dynamically adjust the stock - bond ratio, and pay attention to elastic assets such as pro - cyclical convertible bonds [4][38].

Core Viewpoint - Everbright Securities maintains an "overweight" rating for the steel and non-ferrous metals industries, with a ranking of industry prosperity as follows: copper and aluminum > gold > steel [1][2]. Supply - Supply growth for steel, copper, and aluminum remains constrained. For steel, energy consumption and carbon emissions will continue to restrict supply, with crude steel output facing pressure. Future policies similar to the 2017 supply-side reform need to be monitored [3]. - For copper, Freeport and Teck Resources have lowered their 2026 production guidance, leading to increased disruptions at the mining level, with a projected 0.1% year-on-year decline in global refined copper output for 2026 [3]. - Aluminum production in China is expected to grow by 1.6% in 2026 due to capacity constraints [3]. Demand - Demand recovery will contribute to price elasticity for steel, copper, and aluminum. The real estate market is still expected to stabilize, but the World Steel Association forecasts a 1% year-on-year decline in steel demand in China for 2026 [4]. - For copper, the demand from the new energy sector is anticipated to be the main growth driver, with a projected 1.5% increase in global copper demand for 2026 [4]. - Aluminum demand in China is expected to grow by 1.8% in 2026, driven by manufacturing sectors such as new energy vehicles and electricity, which offset declines in real estate [4]. Gold - The demand for gold is expected to rise due to ETF investments and central bank purchases. The U.S. entering a rate-cutting cycle, combined with increased global uncertainty, is likely to boost gold ETF investment demand [5]. Recommended Stocks - For steel, companies such as Baosteel and Jiuli Special Materials are recommended, with a focus on Erdos, CITIC Special Steel, and Hualing Steel [6]. - In the copper sector, Zijin Mining and Luoyang Molybdenum are recommended, with attention to Tongling Nonferrous Metals, Western Mining, and Jincheng Mining [6]. - For aluminum, China Hongqiao is recommended, with a focus on Yun Aluminum, Shenhuo, and Zhongfu Industrial [6]. - In the gold sector, Zijin Mining is recommended, with attention to Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining and Zijin Gold International [6].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the articles indicates that Japan's economy is experiencing a temporary setback, with a 1.8% year-on-year decline in GDP for Q3, marking the first contraction in six quarters, primarily due to the impact of U.S. tariffs on exports [1] - Japan's Q3 GDP contracted by 0.4% quarter-on-quarter, which was better than the market expectation of a 0.6% contraction, while the revised growth for Q2 was 2.3% [1] - Exports were the main drag on the economy, with net external demand reducing growth by 0.2 percentage points, significantly affected by a 15% tariff on Japanese goods imposed by the U.S. starting in September [1] - Private consumption increased by only 0.1%, down from 0.4% in the previous quarter, as high prices suppressed spending willingness; however, capital expenditure rose by 1.0%, exceeding the expected 0.3% [1] - The Japanese government is planning a stimulus package of approximately 17 trillion yen to improve household income and support consumption next year [1] Group 2 - From a technical analysis perspective, the USD/JPY exchange rate maintains a bullish structure in the short term, with clear resistance levels above [2] - The USD/JPY rebounded strongly from 153.60 and broke through the resistance zone of 154.45–154.50, indicating potential for further upward movement [2] - If the USD/JPY effectively breaks the psychological level of 155.00, it could open up further upward space towards 155.60 or even 156.00 [2] - The support level at 154.00 remains crucial for maintaining the bullish structure; a drop below 153.60 could lead to a further decline towards 153.00 [2]

Macroeconomic Environment - The US government has ended its longest shutdown, with a temporary funding bill supporting most government departments until January 30, 2026, requiring further negotiations thereafter [3] - Economic data releases in the US are delayed, with upcoming non-farm payroll data expected to show a significant cooling in the job market, potentially leading to another interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December [3][4] - In Europe, industrial production has underperformed expectations, but economic sentiment indicators are improving, with the European Central Bank focusing on economic recovery while expressing concerns about inflation [4] Domestic Economic Conditions - In China, new social financing in October decreased year-on-year, impacted by the real estate cycle and local government debt repayments, leading to suppressed corporate loans [4] - Monetary aggregates M1 and M2 have slowed in growth, with ongoing issues such as slow fiscal fund disbursement and a decline in fixed asset investment growth [4] - High-frequency data indicates a decline in real estate transactions, while agricultural wholesale prices have slightly increased; upstream prices for coking coal and coke have dropped, while non-ferrous metals and gold prices have strengthened [4] Financial Data and Market Trends - October's credit data was weak, aligning with the third-quarter monetary policy report indicating a decrease in indirect financing ratios; a new 500 billion yuan policy financial tool is expected to boost credit demand [8] - The bond market has seen a narrow fluctuation in yields, with a total issuance of 98 bonds amounting to 679.6 billion yuan during the reporting period, indicating an increase in both national and local special bond issuance [9] - The market outlook suggests that while inflation data has shown some improvement, credit data remains weak, and the bond market is currently desensitized to fundamental data [10]
