Core Viewpoint - The foundation of the Hong Kong stock market bull run remains intact, but the evolution is likely to exhibit characteristics of "oscillating upward with a gradually rising focus" rather than a rapid one-sided increase. The fundamental drivers in November are strong, emphasizing the value of high-prosperity sectors [1][4]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The recent volatility in the Hang Seng Technology Index is attributed to the reversal of previous favorable factors, leading to temporary liquidity pressure in the Hong Kong stock market [1]. - The current net profit growth rate and price increase may appear divergent; however, the recent rise in the Hong Kong stock market is strongly supported by fundamentals, with new industries experiencing explosive growth while traditional sectors lag [4]. - Industries with performance support, such as new energy, AI, non-ferrous metals, steel, and semiconductors, have seen larger price increases, while sectors with declining performance growth, like real estate, infrastructure, consumption, and finance, have seen smaller price increases [4].

The operational trends of Hong Kong companies can be inferred from A-share financial reports [4]. - The overall stability and improvement in Chinese enterprises are attributed to advanced manufacturing, particularly in technology and external demand, despite ongoing pressures in traditional economic sectors [4]. Group 3: Future Triggers for Market Upturn - Potential triggers for the next phase of the Hong Kong stock market's rise include improvements in liquidity expectations, such as a dovish shift in the Federal Reserve's stance, the end of the U.S. government shutdown, and the cessation of balance sheet reduction by the Fed [8]. - The probability of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December has decreased to 66.9%, influenced by factors like the government shutdown and the Fed's balance sheet policies, which have led to a significant widening of the interest rate spread between SOFR and IORB [8][10].

Group 1 - The report identifies that the stock-bond seesaw effect is more common than both stocks and bonds being strong or weak simultaneously, with a higher probability of returning to the seesaw state after periods of dual strength or weakness [3][8]. - Growth expectations drive the stock-bond seesaw, while liquidity expectations can terminate it. Weak growth expectations lead to weak stocks and strong bonds, while strong growth expectations can result in strong stocks and weak bonds [3][8]. - A four-quadrant framework based on growth and interest rate expectations can be constructed to illustrate the relative relationship between stocks and bonds, showing how these expectations influence market dynamics [3][8]. Group 2 - The report suggests that when the stock-bond seesaw is present, there are strong price signals within equity sectors, allowing for effective industry strategies to be constructed [3][8]. - Current liquidity expectations are stable, indicating a foundation for a slow bull market, and the report continues to recommend a dynamic all-weather strategy under the seesaw market conditions [3][8]. - Historical data shows that fast bull markets are typically accompanied by rising equity volatility, while the current market exhibits stable equity volatility, supporting the slow bull market outlook [3][8]. Group 3 - The report outlines various scenarios following the stock-bond seesaw, including transitions from strong stocks and weak bonds to dual strength, and from weak stocks and strong bonds to dual weakness [21][37]. - The transition from strong stocks and weak bonds to weak stocks and strong bonds is often accompanied by a decline in growth expectations, while the reverse transition typically requires an increase in growth expectations [26][45]. - The report emphasizes that the core factors determining market direction after the seesaw are liquidity expectations and growth expectations, which can lead to different outcomes based on their movements [36][45].

Core Viewpoint - The global stock market is experiencing a paradox where bad economic news leads to positive market reactions, driven by strong expectations of future policy easing [1][2]. Group 1: Unusual Phenomenon - Bad economic data is now interpreted as good news for the market, as it increases the likelihood of central banks easing monetary policy [2]. - Examples include: - Weak U.S. non-farm payroll data leading to a stock market surge due to increased rate cut probabilities [2]. - A country's CPI inflation data declining unexpectedly, resulting in a stock market rise as it suggests potential early rate cuts [2]. - Geopolitical risks causing both gold and Bitcoin to rise, driven by heightened risk aversion and expectations of central bank liquidity [2]. Group 2: Deep Analysis - There is a fundamental shift in three core logics: - Central bank policy priorities have shifted from "anti-inflation" to "anti-recession," indicating a readiness to ease when recession risks outweigh inflation concerns [3]. - Liquidity expectations are now overshadowing corporate earnings fundamentals, leading to higher asset valuations even amid declining profits [4]. - Institutional investors are strategically positioning themselves to benefit from anticipated policy shifts rather than waiting for economic data to improve [5]. Group 3: UNFX Strategy Perspective - Different investor styles require distinct strategies: - Trend followers should respect market trends and avoid countering the prevailing market sentiment, even if valuations seem unreasonable [6]. - Value investors should maintain focus on individual stocks with stable cash flows and reasonable valuations, without overreacting to short-term market fluctuations [8]. - Ordinary investors are advised to avoid linear extrapolation of current market logic and remain cautious of potential policy disappointments that could lead to market reversals [9][10].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - Amid the approaching end of the tariff negotiation period, the Trump administration's tariff announcements have reignited market risk aversion, and dovish remarks from Fed officials have raised expectations of a September rate cut, supporting precious metals. Despite short - term market sentiment fluctuations, the substantial increase in US tariffs, along with potential deepening of debt and deficit issues, suggest that precious metals will maintain a high - level oscillatory trend [3][7]. Summary by Directory Chapter 1: Comprehensive Analysis and Trading Strategies Comprehensive Analysis - During the week, the US dollar index rebounded slightly from the bottom, while precious metals showed strong resilience.

The 3 - month reciprocal tariff negotiation period is almost over, and the Trump administration has announced a 50% tariff on copper and a 30% tariff on Mexico, the EU, etc. The signing of the "Big and Beautiful" bill is likely to deepen US debt and deficit problems, reigniting market risk aversion.

Core Viewpoint - The market is closely watching the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision, with a high probability of maintaining rates in May due to strong employment data and easing inflation pressures [3][4].
