1. Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - The provided content does not mention the report's industry investment rating 2. Core Views of the Report - The overseas macro - environment in 2026 continues to warm up. The combination of "low inflation + weak reality + Fed chair change" in the US is conducive to Fed easing, and the quality of January's economic data is expected to return to normal. The US's "loose fiscal + loose monetary" policy promotes economic prosperity. The ECB maintained interest rates in December and raised GDP forecasts for this year and next. Japan's interest rate hike was in line with expectations, not a radical tightening, with an upward - adjusted 2025 GDP growth forecast and a maintained 2026 forecast [7] - In the domestic macro - environment, the National Housing and Urban - Rural Construction Work Conference in December 2023 deployed work for 2026, including urban renewal and stabilizing the real estate market. The underground pipeline renovation work is a highlight, and it is expected that the capital investment will increase slightly next year. In November, the year - on - year growth of social retail sales was 1.3%, falling short of expectations, with weakening commodity retail being the main drag and continuous improvement in service consumption. Manufacturing, infrastructure, and real estate investment continued to weaken, while exports were a strong support [7] - In asset allocation, the macro - environment favors the precious metals and non - ferrous metals sectors. For precious metals, the logic of gold's rise is still clear with a high safety margin, while silver has increased volatility risk after a sharp rise. For non - ferrous metals, there are low - buying and long - holding opportunities for commodities with more supply disruptions like copper, aluminum, and tin, and attention should be paid to lithium carbonate with good supply - demand performance. The domestic equity sector should be defensive at the end of the year and during the policy window period [7] 3.

Potential Policy Measures - Possible measures may involve relaxing restrictions on home purchases and loans, as well as using monetary tools like interest rate cuts to lower mortgage costs [4][6]. - The implementation of a mortgage interest subsidy policy is anticipated, although not explicitly mentioned during the conference.
