Group 1 - The report highlights that both Chinese and US stock markets are experiencing a strong upward trend, driven by optimistic investor expectations regarding future corporate capital returns. A-shares are pricing in a stabilization of ROE at historical lows, while US stocks are anticipating continued growth in ROE from already high levels [3][12][14] - Since Q4 2021, A-shares have faced declining capital returns due to intense competition amid trends of "de-financialization" and "de-real estate," while US stocks have benefited from government debt expansion stimulating demand, resulting in higher ROE [3][14][17] - The report anticipates a shift in trends, with US capital returns potentially facing downward pressure due to tax policies encouraging manufacturing investment and capital repatriation, while A-shares may see a recovery in capital returns driven by anti-involution policies, stronger overseas manufacturing activity, and a halt in debt contraction [3][4][17] Group 2 - Three key catalysts for the stabilization and recovery of A-share capital returns are identified: anti-involution policies, overseas manufacturing activity surpassing service sector growth, and the end of the debt repayment cycle [4][23][31] - The report provides an example from the cement industry, where current operational rates are at their lowest since 2019, and a rebound in price indices is expected by late 2024, indicating a potential recovery in ROE [4][23][25] - The report notes that the demand for domestic capital goods and intermediate products is expected to rise due to stronger overseas manufacturing activity compared to services, with significant rebounds in excavator sales and steel exports observed [4][27][29] Group 3 - The current market pricing indicates that short-term stock prices have outpaced ROE, necessitating a buffer for uncertainty in recovery rhythms. The report emphasizes that the internal industry structure is more critical than the overall market [5][36] - The report discusses the historical context of PB (Price-to-Book) ratios, noting that the current PB levels are not extreme compared to historical standards, but the low absolute level of ROE may affect the pace of PB recovery [5][36][38] - A significant reduction in the proportion of stocks with low PB ratios has been observed, particularly in sectors like TMT (Technology, Media, and Telecommunications), high-end manufacturing, and banking, while traditional industries still show a high percentage of low PB stocks [5][38][40] Group 4 - The report suggests that the dynamics of capital returns are shifting, with domestic capital returns expected to stabilize and rise, while overseas capital returns may decline. This shift positions A-shares as more attractive compared to other markets [6][46] - Recommendations for asset allocation include focusing on upstream resource products benefiting from increased overseas demand and domestic anti-involution policies, as well as emphasizing equity over debt investments [6][46]

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the current strong resonance between Chinese and American stock markets reflects optimistic expectations for future corporate capital returns, with A-shares stabilizing from historical lows and U.S. stocks maintaining high ROE levels [1][2] - The three main catalysts for stabilizing and recovering capital returns in A-shares are: (1) anti-involution leading to stabilization in industries previously constrained by excessive capital expansion, (2) overseas manufacturing demand exceeding service sector demand, and (3) the end of debt contraction cycles [2][3] - The current market pricing indicates that short-term stock prices are ahead of ROE, which aligns with historical bottoming characteristics, and while the absolute level of PB is not extreme, the low absolute level of ROE affects the elasticity and pace of PB recovery [3][4] Group 2 - The future state of capital returns is expected to shift, with domestic capital returns stabilizing and overseas capital returns potentially declining due to the combination of anti-involution, cessation of debt contraction, and the development of overseas manufacturing [4][5] - The relative advantage of the "barbell strategy" may diminish as ROE gradually recovers, with traditional industries such as coal, oil, steel, and utilities showing a higher proportion of low PB stocks compared to TMT and high-end manufacturing sectors [3][4] - Recommendations for asset allocation include focusing on upstream resource products and capital goods benefiting from increased overseas demand and domestic anti-involution policies, as well as exploring opportunities in new consumption sectors like hospitality and retail [5]

Core Insights - The global economy is facing multiple challenges, revealing its vulnerabilities under the uncertainty of US policies. Issues such as regionalism, inflation, debt pressure, and structured risks in asset valuations are still unfolding. The continuous depreciation of the US dollar has made European and emerging markets more attractive to capital, while precious metals like gold have seen significant price increases, indicating a reshaping of the global market. In response to the current market environment, it is advised to focus on certainty and make asset allocations based on a high safety margin [1][16][21]. Market Overview - As of June 29, 2025, global equity assets performed well, with MSCI global returns at 4.01% and emerging markets at 6.15%, slightly outperforming developed markets. The domestic market also showed strong performance, with the CSI All Share Index yielding 3.13%, particularly driven by growth stocks which rose by 4.87% [7][13]. - The global economic pressure remains significant, with manufacturing PMI in some regions still below the expansion threshold, indicating risks of a peak in the global economic growth cycle. Concurrently, US stocks have seen valuations driven up by AI and buybacks, which has weakened corporate resilience [19][20]. Asset Allocation Strategy - **Equity Funds**: The strategy should focus on a "core + opportunities" approach, balancing safety and returns. Core allocations should prioritize high earnings certainty, high profits, and high dividends, while opportunity allocations should leverage policy implementation, confidence-driven investments, and technology empowerment [3][30]. - **Fixed Income Funds**: It is recommended to lower expectations while seeking stable returns. Mid to short-duration funds are seen as more cost-effective, as the market's excessive pursuit of long-duration bonds has diminished their risk-return profile [3][4]. - **QDII Funds**: Attention should be paid to marginal changes affecting expectations. For equity QDII, caution is advised regarding structured valuation risks, while for oil QDII, geopolitical factors are becoming increasingly significant. Gold QDII is expected to perform well in the medium to long term due to ongoing demand for safe-haven assets [4][37][40]. Domestic Economic Insights - The domestic economy has shown resilience, with a GDP growth of 5.4% in Q1 2025, driven by consumption and exports. Industrial value-added growth was steady at 5.8%, with significant contributions from sectors like new energy vehicles and robotics [21][28]. - Consumer spending has been robust, with retail sales in May growing by 6.4% year-on-year, supported by government subsidies and promotional activities. However, structural income disparities remain a challenge for sustained consumption growth [26][28]. Commodity Market Dynamics - Geopolitical issues and inflation have been influencing global commodity prices. The escalation of conflicts has pushed oil prices higher, while the depreciation of the dollar has led to fluctuations in gold prices. Future trading logic for oil and gold will likely continue to be driven by geopolitical and risk-averse sentiments [37][49]. - The long-term stability of oil prices will depend on global economic growth and demand, with current PMI data indicating potential declines in demand. The supply side, particularly OPEC+ production decisions, will also play a crucial role in short-term price movements [45][49].
