Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The current positive trend of the stock market is mainly driven by loose domestic and foreign liquidity, and the marginal changes in domestic and foreign liquidity affect the short - term trend of the stock index to some extent. The market is bullish on the Fed's September rate cut, but the Fed's July meeting minutes show internal differences, adding uncertainty to the September monetary policy. The speech at the Jackson Hole Central Bank Annual Meeting and the upcoming PCE price data will influence the rate - cut expectation and decision. The stock index is expected to maintain an upward trend, but there may be an adjustment after a sharp rise [6][11]. - The stock index continued to rise this week, hitting a new high for the year. The main reasons are the better - than - expected semi - annual performance of A - share listed companies, especially the strong profitability of the manufacturing and technology sectors, and the drive from the sentiment and capital aspects [1][3]. Summary by Directory 1. Abstract - This week, the stock index continued to rise with increasing volume, and the four major stock indexes all hit new highs for the year. The turnover of the two markets rose to 2.5 trillion yuan. The main reasons for the sharp rise are the better - than - expected semi - annual performance of A - share listed companies and the drive from sentiment and capital [1]. - Before the release of non - farm payrolls data and PCE price data, Powell is expected to maintain a hawkish stance on inflation risks in his speech on Friday night, and the September rate - cut expectation will not change significantly.

However, some indicators show overheating, and the index may need adjustment after a sharp rise, but the upward trend remains unchanged [2]. 2. Market Analysis and Strategy Recommendation - This week, the stock index continued to rise with increasing volume, and the four major stock indexes all hit new highs for the year. The turnover of the two markets rose to 2.5 trillion yuan. The reasons are the better - than - expected semi - annual performance of A - share listed companies and the drive from sentiment and capital [3]. - Next week's market trend needs to focus on the Fed's rate - cut expectation and market sentiment changes. The Fed's September rate - cut decision is uncertain.

Core Viewpoint - The A-share market has shown a significant N-shaped upward trend since September 24 of last year, with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a 10-year high of 3800 points as of August 22, driven by fundamental expectations, liquidity conditions, and market sentiment [1][2][8]. Group 1: Logic Behind the Current Bull Market - The first driver is the fundamental expectation difference, where initial pessimism regarding the impact of the trade war on the economy and inflation shifted positively after negotiations began in May and anti-involution policies were implemented in July [2]. - The second driver is the liquidity easing, with both China and the U.S. in a monetary easing cycle, leading to increased demand for equity allocation amid a low-interest-rate environment and a weak dollar [4]. - The third driver is market sentiment, with a momentum effect following the market's upward breakthrough in July, leading to a significant increase in margin financing [6]. Group 2: Trend Judgment on A-share Market - The current A-share market is influenced by three key factors: a liquidity surplus, neutral corporate earnings, and valuation levels. M1 growth is still rising, and the weighted interest rates in China and the U.S. are slightly favorable for A-shares [7]. - Corporate earnings are expected to have limited recovery space, with nominal economic growth in the second half of the year likely to be similar to the past two years [7]. - Despite the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a 10-year high, valuations are not considered expensive, with the price-to-earnings ratio at the 89th percentile and the price-to-book ratio at the 53rd percentile [7][8]. Group 3: Structural Trend Judgment on A-share Market - Since the announcement of anti-involution policies in July, market trading logic has shifted to coexistence of economic expectation recovery and abundant liquidity, leading to strong performance in small-cap and technology stocks, while dividend stocks like banks have underperformed [13][16]. - The current market trading logic has transitioned from a late economic slowdown phase to an economic expansion phase, characterized by strong performance in small-cap and technology stocks [16]. - In terms of structural allocation, dividend stocks can serve as a stable base, while technology and small-cap stocks can be considered for aggressive positioning, with relatively low-valued consumer stocks as auxiliary allocations to balance risk and return [17].
