Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Domestically, the economic fundamentals are relatively cold. To achieve the economic growth target, policies in the fourth quarter still need to be strengthened. The newly announced 500 billion in new policy - based financial instruments may have various sources of funds, and there is still a certain probability of releasing the debt space limit. The "anti - involution" policy has had an impact on PPI and industrial enterprise profits, but the subsequent recovery process remains tortuous [1][10][13]. - Abroad, the Fed's interest rate cut in September can be regarded as a preventive one. There is a significant divergence between the Fed and the market next year. The controversy over the Fed's independence will continue in October, and the US Supreme Court will start reviewing the legality of some tariffs in November. The US government faces a shutdown risk on October 1st, which may affect economic data release and market sentiment [2][22][27]. - In terms of major asset trends, stocks will mainly fluctuate, and it is advisable to go long on dips; bonds have weak sentiment; the exchange rate will fluctuate within a range; and for gold, it is advisable to take a long - biased approach [3][28][30]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Domestic: A New Round of Support Policies is Coming (1) The expectation of stable - growth policies resurfaces - The economic data in August was generally cold, with consumption weakening, production sluggish, and investment under pressure. To achieve the economic growth target, new stable - growth policies are necessary. The new policies may focus on debt limits and policy - based banks. The 500 billion in new policy - based financial instruments will be used to supplement project capital and support private enterprises' participation in the "Artificial Intelligence +" action [10][13]. (2) Has the "anti - involution" policy taken effect? - The "anti - involution" policy did not boost the "troika" of the economy but had an impact on PPI and industrial enterprise profits. In August, the year - on - year growth rate of PPI increased from - 3.6% in July to - 2.9%, and the year - on - year growth rate of industrial enterprise profits soared from - 1.5% in July to 20.4%. However, the recovery of PPI and industrial enterprise profits is also due to the low base last year [17][18]. Abroad: There is a Significant Divergence between the Fed and the Market Next Year - The Fed's interest rate cut in September was a preventive one. There is a difference between the Fed's and the market's expectations for the federal funds target rate next year. If the Fed remains data - dependent, the market's pricing may be incorrect, but the upcoming change of the Fed chairman adds uncertainty. The controversy over the Fed's independence will continue in October, and the US Supreme Court will review the legality of some tariffs in November. The US government faces a shutdown risk on October 1st, which may affect economic data release and market sentiment [21][23][27]. Major Asset Trends Outlook (1) Stocks: Mainly fluctuate, and it is advisable to go long on dips - Since September, the strong upward trend of the equity market has been curbed, and the Shanghai Composite Index has generally fluctuated. The growth style leads, and the market risk appetite will be maintained due to new policy tools and the upcoming Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee. The general direction of the stock market is still upward, but the market may fluctuate in the short term [28]. (2) Bonds: Weak sentiment - The bond market continued to adjust in September. Factors such as the draft for soliciting opinions on fund fees, possible over - expected fiscal policies, and potential redemption pressure on the liability side of funds have suppressed the bond market. Although the overall view is bullish, short - term caution is needed [30]. (3) The RMB exchange rate will remain volatile - Since September, the domestic supporting factors for the RMB exchange rate have weakened, but the support from the current account and the capital account still exists. The US dollar index is the core variable. After the Fed's interest rate cut in September, the US dollar index rebounded slightly, but in the long run, it is in a downward channel, and the RMB is still in an appreciation trend [34]. (4) Gold: It is advisable to take a long - biased approach - Gold showed strong performance in September. The Fed's interest rate cut, along with geopolitical issues, the controversy over the Fed's independence, and fiscal issues in various countries, supported the gold price. It is recommended to allocate 15 - 20% of the position to go long on gold [38].

[1] - The recent economic data in the Eurozone fluctuated, with business sentiment indices weaker than expected. The ECB indicated a slower pace of interest rate cuts due to improved economic expectations and easing inflation.

Investors are advised to be cautious, pay attention to operation rhythm and risk control, and track geopolitical, shipping capacity, and cargo volume data.
