1. Report's Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating was provided in the report. 2.

There may be potential catch - up opportunities for Hong Kong stocks when the Fed turns dovish, and the indicative significance of the AH premium may be weakened [2][19]. - Globally, A - share valuations are still relatively low and may have significant room for improvement from perspectives such as the stock market capitalization/GDP ratio [2][27]. - In the US stock market, during the interest - rate cut cycle, small - and medium - cap and cyclical sectors, which are more sensitive to interest rates, may perform relatively well in the short term, while leading technology stocks with strong earnings may remain the long - term main theme [1][2][33]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Condition Assessment - Domestic: New and second - hand housing transactions have marginally stabilized, export throughput has maintained resilience, and price trends are differentiated.

The volatility of US stocks may increase in the short term, and it is recommended to hedge risks. Commodity sentiment has generally improved [4][39]. - **Domestic bond market**: The current bond market has weak coupon protection, high speculation, and strong sentiment - driven characteristics. Interest rates are likely to have an upper limit. It is recommended to look for opportunities after October and focus on curve steepening transactions.

Investors are advised to focus on the "hard technology" theme and explore "anti - involution" sub - themes. Increase trading flexibility if certain signals appear [40]. - **US Treasury bonds**: The market's expectation of an interest - rate cut has increased. It is expected that there will be at least two interest - rate cuts this year.

Band trading is recommended, with higher certainty at the short end [41]. - **US stocks**: After the Fed turns dovish, cyclical sectors may perform well in the short term, but there may be回调 risks. Technology stocks may remain the long - term main theme. It is recommended to hedge risks and wait for opportunities after Nvidia's earnings report [41]. - **Commodities**: The expectation of interest - rate cuts and the weakening of the US dollar have warmed commodity sentiment. Mineral stocks may have greater elasticity. Gold is expected to be strong, oil prices have bottomed out but are bearish in the long term, and copper prices may fluctuate in the short term [44]. Follow - up Concerns - **Domestic**: China's official and S&P Global manufacturing PMI for August, and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Tianjin Summit [61]. - **Overseas**: The US second - quarter real GDP annualized quarterly rate revision, July existing home sales index monthly rate, July core PCE price index annual and monthly rates, and other economic data from the US, Eurozone, UK, and Japan [61].
