Report Highlights 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Stock Index Futures**: The market showed a mixed trend with the three major indices rising and falling. Over 2,800 stocks in the Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Beijing markets closed higher, and the trading volume on this day was 2.71 trillion yuan. The Fed's dovish stance led to market expectations of multiple interest rate cuts this year, benefiting the A - share market. Shanghai's adjustment of housing policies boosted the real estate and banking sectors. The implementation of the childcare subsidy system is expected to be an important way to drive inflation back up. The liquidity - driven market will continue, but funds are concentrating on index components and technology stocks, with short - term volatility increasing and long - term upward potential [1]. - **Treasury Bond Futures**: On Tuesday, Treasury bond futures closed with gains across the board. The central bank conducted 405.8 billion yuan of 7 - day reverse repurchase operations, with a net withdrawal of 474.5 billion yuan. Although there were no significant changes in the short - term capital and fundamental aspects, market risk appetite rebounded. The dovish remarks of the Fed Chairman increased expectations of a September interest rate cut in the US and domestic monetary policy easing, leading to a rebound in the bond market. However, the strong performance of the stock market will be a short - term negative factor for the bond market, and short - term Treasury bond futures are expected to fluctuate at high levels [1][2]. 3.
