Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The equity market continued its structural slow - bull trend in the month, with A - share major indices hitting new highs for the year. The "dumbbell - style" asset allocation was prominent. The policy promoted supply - side reform in over - capacity industries, and the technology growth sector regained activity. The market is expected to maintain a volatile upward trend in the coming month, and investors are advised to focus on sectors with strong performance certainty and capture rotation opportunities among different sectors [3][70]. - In the operation strategy, as the market has accumulated a certain increase and entered the quarterly report period, with obvious rotation characteristics, investors can buy IM on dips and use IH for defense with an appropriate position [4]. Summary According to the Table of Contents Macro Economy - **CPI Situation**: The month's CPI remained flat at a low level, mainly dragged down by the food sub - item. The core CPI continued to rise to 0.8%. The prices of industrial consumer goods and services were stronger than seasonal, driving the CPI to rise to 0.4% month - on - month, slightly higher than the average of the past ten years. The food price decreased by 1.6% year - on - year, with the decline widening by 1.3 percentage points compared to the previous month [12]. - **PPI Situation**: The month's PPI decreased by 3.6% year - on - year, with the decline remaining the same. From the demand side, extreme weather and international environment uncertainty led to a slowdown in construction and suppressed the demand for building materials. From the supply side, hydropower replaced thermal power, causing electricity prices to fall. Although the anti - involution policy narrowed the price decline in some industries, the overall price improvement was limited, highlighting the need for more demand - side policy support [13]. - **Export Situation**: The month's export increased by 7.2% year - on - year and decreased by 1.0% month - on - month (in US dollars). The "rush - to - export" effect was an important reason for the acceleration of exports. Exports to the US continued to be under pressure, while exports to the EU, ASEAN, India, and Latin America increased [16]. - **Consumption and Real Estate**: The month's total retail sales of consumer goods increased by 3.7% year - on - year. The growth rate of commodity retail decreased, and the catering industry was still weak. The real estate demand needed to be boosted, with the prices of second - hand and new houses diverging, and the investment decline continuing to widen [21]. - **Manufacturing PMI**: The month's manufacturing PMI rose 3.1 percentage points to 51.5%, remaining in the expansion range for two consecutive months. There was structural differentiation in sub - indicators, with the new export order index still below the boom - bust line, and the cost pressure on mid - and downstream enterprises remaining [22]. - **Policy**: The central bank maintained the LPR, and the government issued special treasury bonds to support consumer goods replacement and "two - major" construction projects. The Politburo meeting continued the "seeking progress while maintaining stability" tone, emphasizing more active fiscal and moderately loose monetary policies [27]. Market Review - **A - share Performance**: In the month, the A - share market rose unilaterally. The central bank's MLF operation increased market liquidity, driving the major indices up. The technology sector led the rise, and foreign capital showed obvious signs of return.

The market risk preference increased, and the investment concept became more rational [37]. - **Liquidity**: From the specified period, the A - share market's average daily trading volume increased by 34.5% month - on - month, and the newly established equity - oriented fund shares increased by 112.5% month - on - month, indicating increased market activity and institutional capital inflows [45]. - **Market Sentiment**: The month's market trading enthusiasm was significantly high, with daily trading volume often exceeding 1 trillion yuan. The market risk preference recovered, and the turnover rate of major indices increased, especially in the science and technology innovation and ChiNext indices [48]. Private Equity Strategy - **Basis Analysis**: The month's basis showed significant volatility, with convergence in the first half and widening in the second half. This had a significant impact on neutral strategies, both increasing risks and providing potential arbitrage opportunities [54]. - **Private Equity Sub - strategy Performance**: In the month, all private equity strategies achieved positive returns. The long - only strategy and the arbitrage strategy led with single - month returns of 18.2% and 16%, respectively [57]. - **Index - Enhancement Strategy**: In the month, the excess returns of CSI 300, CSI 500, and CSI 1000 index - enhancement strategies showed significant differentiation. In the long - term, small and medium - cap index - enhancement strategies continued to lead [61]. - **Market Neutral Strategy**: The month's market neutral strategy environment improved, with an average return of 1.17% and about 83.87% of products achieving positive returns. The market's differentiated market provided more space for long - short hedging strategies [66].

Core Viewpoint - The domestic polypropylene (PP) market experienced a slight rebound in late August due to supply-side reform news, but overall fundamentals remain weak, leading to a month-on-month decline in price levels for August [1][6]. Supply Side - The supply side saw a reduction in maintenance efforts with the restart of facilities such as Quanzhou Guoheng, Guangdong Petrochemical, Langgang Petrochemical, and Jingbo Petrochemical. Additionally, new capacity from CNOOC Dasha was steadily released, resulting in a relatively abundant supply in the PP front market, which increased supply pressure [3]. - Upstream companies maintained a strong willingness to sell, with price reductions being a common strategy to stimulate transactions, further exerting pressure on PP prices [3]. Demand Side - In August, there was no significant improvement in new orders from downstream PP sectors, with limited increases in operating rates. Specifically, the average operating load for plastic weaving sample enterprises was 41.67%, up 0.67 percentage points month-on-month; injection molding sample enterprises had an operating load of 44.33%, up 0.93 percentage points; while BOPP film sample enterprises saw a decrease to 57.92%, down 1.28 percentage points [6]. - Overall, most enterprises experienced limited order improvements, with cautious procurement focused on low-price essential replenishment, indicating insufficient support from the demand side for the PP market [6]. Future Outlook - Despite the anticipated continued growth in PP supply, there is hope that the traditional demand peak in September ("Golden September") may lead to a substantial improvement in end-consumer demand, potentially raising the price levels in the PP market [6].
